Virtual Stamp Night (Part One)

Well, I thought I'd share some of my cards for the Virtual Stamp Night challenges with you. This one was for the Piercing Even Your Mother Would Approve Of Challenge. I have the Love It brass template and thought I'd use it for this challenge. SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Think Big; Paper- DCWV, Certainly Celery; Ink- Basic Black; Accessories- horizontal slot punch, Love It brass template, Offray ribbon.

This next card was for em-BOSS Resist Challenge, to use the Emboss Resist Technique. I took it a step further and added the Emerging color technique to it. Basically what that means is that you stamp a pattern on the cardstock BEFORE you emboss resist, and that will show through the resisted image (rather than just plain cardstock that you started with). I used a sponge for all of the ink coverage rather than a brayer. SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Butterfly Kisses; Ink- Versamark, Basic Black, Pixie Pink, Lovely Lilac, So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise; Accessories- Word window punch, Making Memories brads, Offray ribbon, clear embossing powder.

The last in this post was for the Wish You Were Here Challenge, to make a postcard. I had no idea what to do with this. You only have 45 minutes to complete each challenge, so all the thinking and planning have to happen fast. . .especially if you want time to play around with layouts or other ideas. SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Wild About You, Riveting, Be Happy, Tagger's Dozen; Paper- Whisper White, DCWV Red; Ink- Basic Black, Old Olive, More Mustard, Night of Navy, Ruby Red; Accessories- black marker.
