Ippity Stamps Blog Hop

Good morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are now ready for some {ippity} inspiration from today's hop!  I have two cards to share with you today, one masculine and one feminine.  The first card I made uses vellum and the Now and Always and Where You Should Be {ippity} stamps sets.

I love the effects of stamping on vellum and for this card I stamped the flowers and leaves on vellum using  white ink then heat embossed with white embossing powder. To add some color, I colored the back of the flower and leaves with Prismacolor pencils which gave the stamped images a soft glow of color. The card base was embossed using a Cuttlebug folder. To accent the embossed leaves, I stamped over the leaves with the background stamp, Thoughts From the Past

For the next card I used the Authentic Man stamp set.

 Using  the Recess papers from Basic Grey, I stamped the  stars and car then lightly highlighted parts of the car. The  sentiment is not from {ippity} but from Inkadinkado. I just felt the larger font on this stamp worked better with the card. 

Next on the list is Rona.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Susan... you are an INSPIRATION - and a very timely one at that as I have a couple of masculine cards to make this week! LOL I'm always at a loss when it comes to what colors/patterned paper to go for, but your card ROCKS! And now, after seeing Patricia's recipe card & your very feminine but beautiful card -- I need to get my set of "Now and Always"! hehe Btw, both cards definitely appeal to my style world!

Love both cards equally! They each have a certain je ne se quoi (no idea if I spelled that right!)
