This month, all our projects feature our favourite stamping and crafting techniques…

In this example I used Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Starry Sky and Night of Navy inks.

The Stamparatus made it easy to layer the colours and add the versamark ink!

This sample used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler inks.

Why not try stamping onto patterned paper or an ink blended background?

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog today sharing with you my design team project for the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog!

Our challenge this time is to use this card sketch.

See the other design team creations HERE

I chose to use some ink blending to create the vertical panel.

This colour combo reminds of a sunset on a summer’s evening!

The black layer ties the embossing and sentiment together.
