$1 Fun!!
Did I mention that I had found some $1 acrylic stamp sets at Michaels?? Both of these cards are made with images from those sets. I really like them - the style is whimsical and I love that!
These cards were inspired by Kimm's challenge to stamp on colored cardstock rather than a neutral. I was definitely out of my element!! One thing that I decided I liked was to soften around the stamped image by watercoloring with my aquapainter. I'm realizing more and more that I am not a very good writer or blogger. I love to read the details on everyone else's blog, but I hate to bore people with details on mine... I'd much rather talk than write!! :) It takes all kinds, I guess!!

Stamping with Yellow
Hi all! The challenge for last week for the stamping group that I'm on was to make cards using yellow. I actually found the flower center image already stamped in my scrap pile and just played around with some other scraps until I found an arrangement that I liked. :) I think I actually sold or gave away that background image... Isn't that the way it goes!! :) The cute little dragonfly on the yellow is from some sets of $1 acrylic stamps that I picked up at Michaels. I made a number of other cards with them that I really was pleased with. I'll probably be sharing them over the next little while. So... have you stamped lately? The challenge to make three cards a week has been a good one for me. And I find that I really like to make only one of a certain card at a time, rather than a bunch of the same card. I can use up more scraps that way!
