Woohoo, over at The House That Stamps Built it's sketch challenge time with a new sketch that Wendy, (owner and designer of all Repeat Impressions Stamps), has created for us.  Here's this week's sketch

 
We hope you'll come on over to THE HOUSE and play along with this sketch challenge.  Just post your project to your blog, grab the link, head on over to THE HOUSE and use the link to post it there.  You'll then be entered in a drawing to win $25.00 worth of rubber stamps (your choice) from Repeat Impressions.  IF you use a RI stamp on your project...you'll be entered in the drawing 2x. 
 
Here's a card I made with RI stamp #4305-I "Fairy Kiss".  The image was colored with Copic Markers.
 
 
 
I have a lot of buttons I've collected over the years and I used three of these adorable rose looking buttons to help me embellish this card.  I love the look they gave this card.

Happy, happy Monday, blog friends!!! 

Welcome to your weekly SOTW offer from Wendy at The House That Stamps Built.  If you love stamping and love a deal to stretch your dollars....take Wendy up on her weekly stamp of the week offers and get some of the best rubber on the market for 50% off.  Each and every Monday a Repeat Impression stamp is offered at 50% off it's retail price. 

The stamp being featured this week is Daffodils #904-L

Believe me when I tell you this is a fabulous stamp!!!  Color it, paper piece it, use it naked as it comes....you will LOVE it!!

Here's a card I made using this stamp.


The sentiment stamps is #1303-E and I cut it so I could reposition it as I wanted. 

I love the results of the stamping, coloring and then highlihting with a white pen on kraft card stock.  Using a Copic blender created a super outline of the image after it was all colored.  Makes it look like it's popping off the page yet it's one dimensional. 

Get on over to The House grab the code and get this stamp for yourself, you will LOVE it!!!

Have a GREAT week and thank you so much for stopping by!!!

DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hello again, blog friends! 


We're here for another fun Designer's Choice Challenge for Repeat Impresssions and The House That Stamps Built.  It's Karen's turn to challenge us this week. 

Before I get started with the challenge, I'd like to give a big "Happy Birthday" shout out to my card making, super creative, sister-in-law, Beth!  Happy Birthday Beth!  I hope you have a fabulous day and a card to you from me is in the mail!  (yes, of course, it's late).

Karen's Designer's Choice Challenge is a technique challenge - use a brayer.  Oh, boy!  I have used a brayer so infrequently that this was a REAL challenge for me. 

Here's my card

I've used masking on this card too.  After I finished the masking and brayering, I stamped RI Stamp #2409-M Divi Divi Tree in VersaFine Black ink.  The sentiment is RI Stamp #3924-G.  I hand drew the birds.

This was a fun challenge, Karen, and now that you have be started....I may just do more brayering for backgrounds. 

We'd love it if you played along with Karen's challenge.  Head on over to The House and follow the directions and post your card for Karen's challenge.  If you use RI stamps on your card, you'll be entered twice and could possibly win $25.00 worth of new RI stamps.  So, come on over and play along!! 

Thank you for stopping by! 
For more inspiration visit my RI Teamies and check out what they've done with Karen's challenge.
