My demo has a monthly ‘featured stamper’ on her blog and this month it’s my turn to attempt her challenges. Donna’s blog: Just4u Stamping & Scrapbooking
My first card challenge was: A play on words... using two (or more) stamps, combine words (a word from each stamp) to create a new image.......
I used 6 different stamps from the Bring on the Cake and Thanks for Caring sets in the new SU Occasions mini to create my sentiment. I love my Stamp-a-Ma-Jig!!!
All of the DSP I used is from the “My Digital Studio” Vintage Springtime Designer Series Paper - Digital Download (printed on white 110lb cardstock). Found in the new mini… (The stamps & rosettes are also from the mini.)
The butterfly was stamped on Very Vanilla, cut out, spritzed with my trusty mix of Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol, smooshed (technical term) onto my Versamark pad and embossed with clear embossing powder (repeated the smooshing/embossing 2-3 times). Liked the way it turned out, especially with the bit of sparkle under the embossing. The sentiment panel is all shimmery too but somehow the camera doesn’t capture “shimmer” too well.
Once I got the card made, it seemed it would only be complete with a slice of cake and a flickering candle.
