It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. In fact, it's our 100th challenge – woohoo! And this week we're celebrating with a Sketch Challenge and blog candy – woohoo, again! (Note: for the blog candy give-a-way, be sure to scroll to the bottom for details)
I decided to use the new stamp set, Seasonally Scattered. It comes with 3 "graphic" greetings – Merry, Thanks and Love. Very versatile. For the greeting on the banner, I used Christmas from Ornamental Pine stamp set (just ommitted the word "wishes")
Dawn's Stamping Tip
If you look closely, you can see that the main image is two-toned. Here's what I did to achieve that look:
- Ink entire "merry" mage with Soft Sky ink
- Before stamping, use a sponge dauber to add Lost Lagoon ink, keeping it just over the word area
- Stamp onto cardstock
- Enjoy!
I'm lovin' this card and think it will be one of my Stamping Club projects at my next months classes. If you're in the club (local and TO GO) – you'll get to enjoy making this project!
Enjoy ~Dawn O
