Helloooooo gang! How happy are you that it is Friday!?!?!?! I know I am looking forward to this weekend. I also love Friday's because my crazy friends - The Loonies - take on another challenge with each other. This week Regan chose for us to use background stamps. NO patterned paper. I am sure you can imagine my first thought was "Are you freaking kidding me?" There's not too many cards I make without patterned paper. Anywho...it's always good to get back to stamping isn't it? I mean hello....I have a zillion stamp sets and the hoarder stamp lover in me keeps collecting them. In fact I have an awesome order of Technique Tuesday stamps on the way....which includes Ali Edwards newest stamp set. Can't wait. LOVE IT.
OK...so here's my "background stamp" card. I am not sure if you can tell but I stamped the image and then brushed a little bit of creamy acrylic paint over it immediately to get a bit of a smudgey shabby look. The rest of the card is neat and clean however....just like I like it. {{Can you see that I have stitched a border on both the "label 1" die as well as the brown block of cardstock?}}
Oh! I have to tell you I used Elzybells new ink on this card. This colour is Sticky Toffee. It's a fabulous pigment ink. I also have their wonderful new textured cardstock and buttons (FYI- Elzybells Chocolate Brownie buttons are a way nicer brown than Papertreys buttons....just saying) in various colours and can't wait to try them out.
Here's the girls....check 'em. Have a GREAT weekend my friends!
