SSINKspiration Favorite Sale-a-bration Item: Epic Celebrations

Good morning!  The start of the new year can sometimes be a little sad because we've just ended the holidays, it's cold and sometimes snowy so I love that Sale-a-bration always is this time of year because nothing is better than FREE, exclusive products.  Today the SSINKspiration designers are sharing their favorite products from Sale-a-bration.  I've saved a few of the wonderful products but given that I have a tween in the house when I first saw the Epic Celebrations stamp set I knew it would be a great card for kids.  This card is one I made for a swap I was in earlier and I'm just now sharing it.

I started with Sahara Sand cardstock for the cardbase and then added Whisper White cardstock for the cardfront.  On the cardfront I used the Watercolor Wash background stamp and Calypso Coral ink to make the background.  Then I used Basic Black to stamp the greeting directly on the cardfront and the spot stamp is also from the Epic Celebrations stamp set and was stamped in Tranquil Tide ink.

Next I used the Big Shot and the Stitched Shapes Framelits to make a frame outline using Basic Black cardstock.  Next I used the 1 1/4" Circle Punch to cut a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock and then added a Rhinestone accent.

For the main element I stamped the tennis shoe image using Versamark ink on Tranquil Tide and then used White Emboss Powder and the Heat Tool to emboss the image before cutting it out with Paper Snips and finally attached the piece to the cardfront with dimensionals.

This card has a fun and modern feel that I know any teen, or tween will enjoy to help celebrate their "epic" event.  I've seen so many great ideas using this stamp set I will definitely be playing with it more!
