More Stretch Your Stamp 2 Cards

Happy Saturday!

It's been a day of catching up with homework for Stretch Your Stamps 2. I've created six cards but am only blogging about the most recent lessons from days 5 and 6. If you'd like to see my cards from days 3 and 4, you can click on my Flickr Photostream - located over on the sidebar. ------>

There was some wonderful inspiration for days 5 and 6! Jennifer McGuire shared a really fun technique on day 5, using different colors of embossing powder. Here's my card, inspired by hers:

It's a very clean and simple card but the multiple embossing looks so cool! See?

I used a floral stamp from the Clearly Besotted set called, Fresh Flowers.

And then, on day 6, there were cards and a video from Laura Bassen - love that girl! She is such a delight and so talented! Here is a card inspired by her:

I did a lot of water coloring on this one. Used totally different colors than Laura did and my design is nothing like hers, so I don't really know how this even came about - ha! The pretty butterfly is from the brand, new stamp set by WPlus9 called, Flora and Fauna 2.

Debby Hughes shared a card on day 6 too and boy, oh, boy was it a beauty! I used her same design but I stamped on vellum instead of wood paper.

Those flowers are also from Flora and Fauna 2. Such a beautiful set!

I love white embossing and coloring on vellum!

I just realized I've been using lots of blues and purples lately - hmmm? Oh, and the sentiments on my cards today are all from the Friendship Messages clear set by Simon Says Stamp. I use it all the time - love it!

Sure feels good to be caught up with class - hate being behind in my homework!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! Thanks for the visit! ♥
 

Ombre Wedding Card

Hello!

Today I wanted to share another card created for Stretch Your Stamps 2.

This one was inspired by Laura Sterckx. She created a beautiful, pink, ombre background that I fell in love with! Here's my take:

I used the Delicate Pattern cling stamp by Penny Black. It's such a pretty stamp! I white embossed it before adding two shades of blue; Sea Glass and Surf Blue from Simon Says Stamp. The sentiment is from a set called Inside Out Sayings, also from SSS. I white embossed that onto a piece of vellum and added a few blue sequins and silver thread to finish the card.

Thanks for your visit! I hope to be back after work later tonight with a card from day 3! ♥
