Ooops!

Today, I'm featuring the last 2 cards from my retirement Stamp-a-Stack class.  I meant to do this sooner, but my parents came for a visit and I ran out of time.


The first card was made with the stamp set, The Free and The Brave.  I used a torn piece of scrap paper to mask off a section of glossy white cardstock, then brayered color onto the corners.  Riding Hood Red and Night of Navy classic ink was used.  I allowed the cardstock to dry for a few minutes, then stamped the image with Night of Navy ink onto the glossy white cardstock.


Freeandthebrave


 


Here is the list of supplies:


*items available while supplies last or until June 30th


Stamp Set:  The Free and The Brave*


Ink:  Riding Hood Red*, Night of Navy


Cardstock:  Whisper White, Glossy White, Kraft, Riding Hood Red*, Night of Navy


Accessories:  Riding Hood Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon*, Brayer, Dimensionals


Freebrave 


 


This next card was by far my favorite!  I'm not sure that I'm going to part with this stamp set....it's just too cute!


The background was wheeled with the See You Around jumbo wheel.  The lion image was stamped 3 times---full strength in More Mustard, stamped off one time in More Mustard, and full strength in Pumpkin Pie.  I then pieced the lion together to add dimension.


A Chocolate Chip marker was used to add accents to the giraffe and lion.


Wildaboutyou 


Stamp Sets:  Wild About You*, See You Around Jumbo Wheel*


Ink:  More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie


Paper:  Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie


Accessories:  Jumbo Handle, Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8" circle punch, Chocolate Chip marker, Dimensionals

Two Friends are Better than One!

Today's card features not one, but TWO retiring stamp sets:  Doodle This and Hugs & Wishes!  I created the flower image by using the Embossed Reinker Spread technique (try saying that fast three times!).  Patty Bennett has a wonderful video tutorial on her blog, so check it out.  I was a bit heavy handed with my reinkers on this card, but the effect was still lovely.  I cut out two flowers, then layered them together with a gold brad.  They shimmer, too!
