Little Tangles Challenge

Neat and Tangled has some really fun "strip" stamps - just love them! Here's this week's challenge over at the Little Tangles Challenge Blog.

"All we want you to do this week, is welcome the Design Team with 'Just Say Hello"'

Here are mine:

This was a tough one for me --- the only "hello" stamp I have is from the "On the Strip" set, and I really just have the strip sets, period, from Neat and Tangled - although I am amassing quite the collection of sequins. I actually was so excited to use my Across the Card set, and then I realized there wasn't a hello... so I had to improvise. Maybe that's a suggestion for an, "Across the Card 2." I wasn't terribly happy with my improvisation, so I made a second card.

Materials:
Paper: Neenah - Solar White, misc. Bazzill cardstock
Stamps/Inks: Hero Arts Shadow Inks - Soft Pool, Grape Juice, Green Hills, Soft Cantaloupe, Memento - Paris Dusk, Lawn Fawn - Quinn's ABCs, Neat and Tangled - Across the Card, On the Strip and On the Strip 2
Cutting/Embossing: Memory Box - lowercase parker letters, Lawn cuts matching dies for letters
Misc.: Dimensional adhesive, copic markers, twine from The Twinery, Tim Holtz Distress Paint - Chipped Sapphire and Spun Sugar
