I love this set - but why am I finding it so hard to come up with ideas for it??
Ever have that? Fallen in love with a set and then just run stuck when it comes to ideas? I guess I just need to keep playing...

Hi, Christy, and congratulations on uploading your first card to Splitcoaststampers! I am so excited for you and really love this card. I know what you mean about loving a stamp set and then having trouble being inspired. I love wonderful focal image and the doily! It's definitely a vintage look, and I love it! I know you'll find more ideas, and perhaps one of our challenges might inspire you.

Having been here at Splitcoaststampers for a few years, you know SCS is filled with inspiration and encouragement here - such a special community. I hope you might also consider joining a challenge found on the Home Page. Here is a link that explains them, Challenges 101. Looking forward to seeing more of your lovely work! Hugs!

P. S. You might want to click HERE for a post full of helpful information. And this is about How To Share Your Art in the Gallery. Lots of great information.

I think this is lovely, love the way the sentiment is "typed" on pretty paper instead of the plain white I always use with typewriters. Browsing the SU set galleries here is always a great source of inspiration, I find.

Beautiful vintage looking greeting, love the little pop of blue with the brown tones and the pretty doily framing! Playing is always a good idea and maybe a challenge or two would give you playtime ideas you might not otherwise have had? Welcome to the gallery!

I think you've done a fabulous job with this stamp set! Really like your sponging which gives it that aged look!

Your card is really pretty and I like the typewritten words on your typing paper. Such wonderful paper and sponging. Sending you a big welcome to the gallery. You'll find sooooooo much inspiration here.

Christy, welcome to uploads for SCS! It looks like you came up with a very good idea for this set! I love using the stamp with all the small letters for the background paper. And, using a different color for the sheet being typed is great! Keep playing because you are doing great with this set!

This card doesn't look like you were stuck at all. Love the fun typewriter and your fabulous framing for it!
