 | | Featured Stampers Challenge honoring Charmaine aka tweedcurtain
She has a fabulous gallery with a lot of inspiration choices. This one grabbed my attention right away.

Charmaine made her card for a World Cardmaking Day challenge to use a single stamp for the background and focal image. Recently, I have been looking for ideas for using small stamps, especially to make quick cards. So this card intrigued me and I wanted to try it.
I selected a stamp set with a small coffee related stamp. I used different colors with two blues in the same manner that Charmaine used two neutrals. I stamped the background using VersaMark ink and then used it to heat emboss the image in white. I die-cut a circle and a scallop circle from the darker blue. I selected a sentiment and heat embossed it as well. I kept it simple with a single layer on the white card base.
I like the idea and will be using it again for many of my small stamps. Thanks Charmaine for sharing your wonderful cards with us and for inspiring mine today!
