TLC Designs Inspiration — DT Shannon

Hello crafty friends. Today I have a slimline card made with the Zinnia Slimline Die Set, Something Bloomed Paper Pack, Celebrate Stamp Set, and Loving Petals Square Die Set. I started by cutting the panels for the shaped card with the two largest dies in the Zinnia Slimline Die Set. To give the panels a distressed look, I used Distress Ink in Antique Linen to darken the cardstock pieces.

Hello, crafty people.  Shannon here with another blog post for TLC Designs. I’ve created a card using the Gnorman For All Digi Stamp. I’ve also used a star from the Sketch Challenge #115 digi set and stripe shapes I created in Microsoft Word. I’m absolutely in love with creating cards with digital stamps.
