On my list of needed cards, I had good luck cards. This week's TCP challenge (#314) is sentiments. Alma has some awesome sentiments in her stamp sets, but they are unfortunately all in English and I needed a French set. I was looking through my TCP stamps and spotted Lean on Me, which has PJ the bear leaning on something. I thought I could create my own "good luck" sentiment in french using the Layered Letters alphabet stamp set. The colors came from the cQc combo #341, and the layout was inspired by an older sketch from Mojo Monday (#435).
For the first word, I looked at my stamps to find one that had the word "bonne" already in it and I found a big "happy Father's Day" sentiment that was perfect. So I stamped the first word in VersaMark and embossed it with Calypso Coral Stampin' Emboss powder, and I layered the word over the new Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape.
See that background colour? It's the new Peekaboo Peach that's part of the 2016-2018 In Color family. It looks pretty cool paired with Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake.
