Stamp Sentiments Off Die Cuts

Found inspiration for this card @ http://damasklove.blogspot.ca/. I liked how the sentiment was stamped on both the die cut image and the oval to which it was adhered.

Coloured Ink on Coloured Cardstock

Another great idea from Dawn McVey @ http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/. I often forget how much I like coloured ink stamped on coloured cardstock. Papertrey Ink makes dies to match their stamp images. They are, however, solid, requiring the die cuts to be made first and stamped second.

One Layer Card

I've used the same set of stamps from Papertrey Ink to create a one layer card. Got my inspiration from Becky Carafa @ http://www.lakeshorestamper.com/

Not my kind of thing, but thought I would give it a try.

More Highlighted Images

This time I used two solid images from Papertrey Ink, one freshly ink and one stamped off. I highlighted the stamped off image with a marker, as done on the previous day's card.

Highlighting with Markers

This is my version of a card made by Debby Hughes http://limedoodle.blogspot.ca/

This is my first attempt at stamping a solid image and highlighting it with a marker in the same colour family. I look forward to practicing my highlighting with other solid image stamps.

Finally!

Now that things are somewhat back to normal I can start card making again. Spent this afternoon finishing up a few cards that I started over the summer. One more to complete and then I'm moving on to Hallowe'en cards. Thanks for bearing (sp?) with me.

For this card I created the background by blending 4 different Distress Inks. Then I stamped the butterfly images directly on the background paper. Got the idea from Angelica Turner http://bellisimavida.blogspot.ca/
