Well, another Monday night has gone by and we had another amazing online class on the Crafters Anonymous website. This time Julia taught a fabulous laced panel card, and I again pulled out the Reason To Smile stamp set...
Stamps: Reason to Smile (June Promotion Stamp Set), Create a Cupcake (wood: 123553, clear: 121982). Card/Paper: Poppy Parade (121694), Whisper White (106549). Ink: Pool Party (122938), Poppy Parade (119782), Calypso Coral (122939), Tangerine Tango (111834), Early Espresso (119670), VersaMark (102283).

Two-step stamping sets have so many uses, and the Reason To Smile stamp set is no exception. You can use the matching solid and outline images together to create colour and depth as I have with the Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral and Tangerine Tango flowers. You can also use them separately. On the panels I have used just the flower outline to stamp, emboss and sponge in Pool Party to great a fabulous background.
I am certainly getting a lot of mileage from the Reason To Smile stamp set, which is just as well as it is only available this month. You can purchase it...
