I knew I wanted to play along with the Everything Old is New Again challenge this week since it is to make a card featuring only a sentiment … which is one of my favorite types of designs. Sentiment stamps are my favorite and I'm always on the look-out for good ones.
This Suzy Toronto Believe stamp from PSX is one of the oldest in my collection. I often use it on the inside of cards, but it's been a long time since I made a card that featured it as the main design element. It's something that always inspires me when I read it.
I colored the flowers that are part of the stamp with glaze pens and added a flower cut from the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl DP. The sketch is this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I tried several different papers for the horizontal elements in the sketch design, but couldn't find one that didn't seem too busy with the floral paper.
I remembered the Everything But the Kitchen Sink challenge to use string in your design and added some ivory string. After I photographed it, I realized I should have added some distress ink to the string to tone down the brightness, but didn't want to risk ruining the card to re-work it, so I'm leaving it as it is.

So pretty, I’m just in love with the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl paper.
I’ve done that so many times, trying to add an element when its too late only to ruin the card. This is a beauty, and its nice to see a sentiment like that on the outside.
What a fabulous sentiment! Great job with the sketch and string.
