Stampin' Saturday at 365 Cards

Hello! My tradeshow is today! YAY! But before I do that, I'm going to submit this card for the 365 Cards Saturday Challenge -

"Today's challenge is to create a stamped image using more than one color of ink. This means that the ink must be applied to the stamp before pressing it on the paper - as opposed to coloring in an image with markers. You use any method you wish to apply the ink to the stamp - special markers, multicolored stamp pad, brayer, etc."

Stamp Sets: Vintage Vogue, A Year of Sweet Sentiments (from Taylored Expressions)

Card Stock: Garden Green, Whisper White

Ink: Garden Green, Summer Sun, Riding Hood Red

Extras: Red Half-Pearls

Now, I know that this card was on the last post, but it fits perfectly for this challenge! To create this effect, I stamped the flowers with Summer Sun and then stamped the image onto the paper. Next, I inked only the edges of the stamp with Riding Hood Red, lined up the stamp with the previously stamped image, then STAMP: a beautiful effect on flowers!

Enjoy! (and wish me luck!)

Vintage Vogue

Here are two new cards I made this afternoon. I am hoping to use these cards for the tradeshow, but I want to pass it by Niki first, get her approval.

Ink: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum

I really like this stamp set! I'm only getting started! There are a TON of colour combinations I am aching to try!

Thanks for looking!

Swing-Along Cassidy

You all saw the baby carriage card I made in one of my earlier posts, and for the tradeshow, I decided to make more in more colours:

I used Old Olive, Regal Rose, So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie for the colours. I didn't have any blue DSP, so I couldn't do any blue, but I think these colours are a good spectrum, don't you?

Thanks for looking!

Medallion Vellum

Here is another card I mass-produced for the tradeshow. This one is my favourite.

They are both the same design, just a different colour for the medallion (just in case you didn't notice!); one is Pumpkin Pie, the other is Old Olive.

The medallion is stamped on the card stock, and the vellum is cut to fit the entire front of the card with a little extra to fold over at the crease to snail it together. So the vellum is cut at 5 1/2" x 4 3/4" and the extra 1/4" is folded over so you don't see any glue marks! The sentiment (Thank You Kindly) is stamped on the Vellum in Basic Black.

Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Kisses

Here is another card I designed for the tradeshow, and Niki has put her stamp of approval on it:

Stamp Set: Sincere Salutations

Card Stock: Whisper White, Baja Breeze

Ink: Baja Breeze

Extras: White 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Scallop Edge punch, Butterfly, Blue half-pearls

I don't know how well the picture shows it, but the Whisper White background has been... man, I can't think of the word to save my life. I ran my boner down the cs to give it some texture. I just can't think of the term... Niki, do you know what that's called? If I remember, I'll add it in.

It's called scoring! YAY! I remembered!

Thanks for stopping by!
