The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

 Wendy picked this week for our DCC (Designer Choice Challenge) at The House

That Stamps Built and she choose CAS-lots of white space and minimal 

embellishments. I am not good at white space so this was a challenge for me.

                                              

 

I started with one of my favorite Repeat Impression stamps to color:

Vase of Tulips,  and used some fall looking Copic colors. I used a white

die cut (Frame in Frame by Taylored Expressions) and a white embossed  layer

 (with a circular design) from my ready  to go box and 

stopped, no gems, no pearls.  That was difficult but I do like the result.

Thanks Wendy for the challenge!

World Card Making Day

 

I got a new Catherine Pooler stencil and made up a bunch of backgrounds,

the ones above uses Distress Oxides:  broken china, speckled egg,

and faded jeans. Lighthouse die cut is Die Versions, I cut two so I could 

use all the pieces from each.  I have another card to share once it reaches the

 recipient, and will have more once I create with the other backgrounds.

Hope you had time to create today!

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

 It's week four at The House That Stamps Built, everyone's favorite:  Anything Goes:

 

 I went with a CAS card but oh is it not striking.  I like the technique of

ink blending inside a shaped stencil (bought or made at home) and then 

stamping your image over it. I stamped this  Repeat Impressions Great Blue Heron 

with black Versa Fine Clair ink and then embossed with clear ink.

The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

 It's the first week of September so it's time for a Designer Choice Challenge at 

The House That Stamps Built and it's my week to choose the challenge. 

 I choose use a recycled item on  your card/project.  

I choose to recycle part of a Kleenex box, they always have the 

cutest patterns and color combo's on them.   I paired it with  sentiments

from Repeat Impressions Hello Series. I did some ink distressing and die 

cutting with stitched dies and added a few pearls from my stash.

 

Just a hint, it is easier if your recycled item is empty before you

decide to create with it.  I'm still waiting for my husband to 

notice the back of the Kleenex box in our bathroom.
