Stretch Your Stamps 2... Bonus Day

I did some color splodging on this card!

Stretch Your Stamps 2... Floral Builders

I am a little obsessed with Monochromatic Cards and layouts at the moment!

SO I decided to use some of my new flower stamps to make a couple cards!  Though these are not stamp builder cards, I did stamp multiple stamps to build an arrangement.  I did end up cutting masks with post it notes so that my stamps don't over lap themselves.  This was the first time I have cut masks, and it wasn't too hard.  I also really like the way they turned out!

Stretch Your Stamps 2... Floral Builders

I really like the way this card turned out!

I needed some Gold Embossing and so I took Jennifer McQuire's suggestion (YES, I am a huge fan!!!!) and ordered the Ranger Gold.  When I got the bottle I was certain that I wouldn't like the color as it almost had a bronze look to it! But I went ahead and inked and sprinkled the powder over my flowers. When I hit my heat tool to the flowers, the magic happened! The Gold is stunning!! Note to self... Never judge a book by it's cover OR a embossing powder by the color!

I have some flower stamps but I always stayed away from the Floral Builder style.  But Jennifer McQuire  inspired me and I went ahead and ordered a set.  I am just learning but I have been having fun!

Strectch your Stamps 2... Graphic stamps

So before this class I would have never bought graphic stamps. 
In fact, I had to order this graphic stamps set THREE times so I better some good use out of it! LOL

Usually I struggle with men's card but I think this stamps set will give me plenty of ideas. 

Stretch your Stamps 2... Bonus Day Splodge

Splodging second project!

So, with this project I splodge some backgrounds and then cut them out into balloons for this card!
You can't really tell that they are splodged but it was fun to make variations in color!
