Back with another song related blog post title so apologies if you've now got the song in your head! The version I know is by The Mamas and Papas - I do enjoy a bit of 60's music every now and then :)
Anyway I wanted to do a card for the current Stampotique challenge which is to use text as I love anything to do with text and typography! I had an idea brewing for what I wanted to do and this was one of those great times when the idea actually translated itself onto the card and looked just as I had pictured it - I love it when a plan comes together.
I stamped the Jasmin image (by Jo Capper Sandon at Stampotique) onto a page of dictionary text and added a touch of colour with some pencils. I love this stamp but don't use it as much as I should - need to change that! I used Adobe PSE to print the background words so that they were off the edge of the cardstock and splattered on some yellow ink. I then attached the torn edged stamped image with my current fave crafting accessory - washi tape!
You're going to be seeing a lot of this style in the coming weeks as I absolutely love it!!
I tend to become a bit obsessed if I like something and I'll do it over and over until the next thing comes along that I 'absolutely love'.
I would also like to enter this into the following challenges - Simon Says Stamp and Show , Challenges 4 everybody, , Lady Annes Sentimental Friday , Creative Creations , Cute card Thursday and 613 Avenue Create .
Thanks so much for popping in :)

So artistic! This is WAY beyond the standard cute, nice card.
Wow. Very, very cool design and a great way to color the Stamp image!
I agree that it's a fantastic feeling when a project comes together the way you had imagined it in "your mind's eye".
