When I saw this week's Make It Monday #257: Sentiment Strip Grounding, I was ready to give it a go, because the idea of what stamp set to use popped right into my mind. Lexi Daly is the host and she shows us how to ground stamp images with a sentiment. What a quick, fun and easy technique!!
I immediately thought of using the cute telephone from Heart-2-Heart #4 and die-cut the phone three times in Ocean Tides cardstock. Using thin, black wire, I wrapped it around a small paintbrush handle to get it coiled and attached it to the phone, placing it between one of the layers before gluing them together. The wire adds a tiny bit of dimension!
On a piece of white cardstock, I added a layer of polka dot pattern paper. I cut a 3/4" strip of Aqua Mist cardstock, stamped the sentiment in black and placed the strip under the phone. I wanted to give the appearance that the phone is sitting on a table with a pretty, polka dot wallpaper background. At least in my mind, that's what it looks like!
- Stamps: PTI Heart-2-Heart #4
- Paper: PTI Ocean Tides, White Stampers Select, Aqua Mist, Polka Dot Parade
- Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
- Dies: PTI Heart-2-Heart #4
- Other: Wire
- Size: 4.25" x 5.5"
So cute. That background paper is perfect.

I have that set too and I love the phone. I always think I'd better use it soon and often before people forget what a phone is.
