Sunday Stamps Challenge

Hello stampers!  Happy Sunday.  I'm having so much fun designing for the Sunday Stamps blog challenge.  Steph is our host this week and she has an awesome color challenge for us. Have you played along with us yet? Join us!  Come check us out here.

Have you tried the triple time stamping technique? It's such a cool technique.  This week for my creation, I followed the instructions from Spiltcoast Stampers on this technique.  It's been awhile since I created a square card and I love the way it turned out!

The base of the card is crumb cake and I layered the whisper white onto the raspberry ripple. I inked the Hello, Doily with crumb cake,  stamped off first then stamped onto the whisper white. It creates a nice subtle effect.  Inking the flower from Blooming with Kindness with raspberry ripple, I stamped it three different times. Running the Beautiful Wings Embosslits with perfect plum dsp through the big shot, I scattered the butterflies throughout my card. I also decorated the inside of the card with the color challenge. So now it's your turn to create something!

Until next time.

Hello, Doily

Good evening Stampers!  Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  What did you create this weekend?

When the background stamp Hello, Doily first appeared in the catalog, last year I think, it was on my wish list but I never purchased it. When the new catalog was released this year I saw that the stamp set was now being offered in clear mount.  I created this card for the big swap I participated in and I knew I wanted to use to the new InColor-Raspberry Ripple and once I combined it with Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla, it makes for a yummy card! Once I stamped the image and mounted the cardstock layers, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  It gives it a vintage, quilt look, I think.  I kept the rest of the card simple with some crumb cake taffeta ribbon.

So did you watch any shows this weekend?  I recorded Once Upon a Time, Revenge and 666 Park Avenue-that show is creepy!  But not as scary and creepy as the new season of American Horror Story! Oh wow, I shouldn't watch that show at night! Well friends, I better start getting ready for sweet dreams.  Thanks again for stopping by.  We'll catch up again later this week.
