MY PICKS OF THE WEEK FOR THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Happy New Year, everyone!!!!  

I'm here with my stamp picks for the week of December 31.  The stamps are discounted at 20% so grab them while you can.  

The stamps I've selected for you are RI#10201-W "Flower Power Background", 10307-H "Patti's Flower Outline", #10303-H "Kathy's Flower Outline", #10313-H "Daisy Outline Large", and #2501-H "Happy Birthday From..."

Here's how I put them together on a monochromatic card.

Here are the supplies and the process for creating this card

Supplies:  VersaMark Ink, embossing buddy, card stock, vellum, scissors, embossing powder, Copic Markers (or coloring medium of you choice) and a heat gun (not shown).  

After treating a teal card stock panel with an embossing buddy, Flower Power Background stamp was inked with VersaMark and stamped on the panel.  (I used a MISTI stamp positioner).  I sprinkled white embossing powder over the panel and heat embossed it.  

The three outline individual flower stamps were stamped the same way only onto a piece of vellum paper that is heat tolerant. (Bazzill makes one).  I then fussy cut the vellum pieces.   

Here's another look at the end result after putting the card together.  As a final detail and for more dimension I used Ranger Enamel Accents. 

  Thanks for stopping by today.  Don't forget to grab these stamps while they're discounted 20% from today until Sunday, January 6.

DECEMBER 2018 INSPIRATION CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello house friends!  

We've got an inspiration challenge for you at The House That Stamps Built blog today and we hope you'll be inspired to join us.  

To create this card I first stamped then masked off RI Stamp #3814-K "Ornament Frame" in the area where I wanted the focal image to be on an 80# white cs panel.  I then sponged two Distress Inks (Peeled Paint and Spun Sugar) for a background.  

Once the background was semi-dry, and leaving the mask in place, I very, very lightly sprayed RI# 5103-I "Ornament Sil" with water and set it down on the background in areas were I wanted the ink to be removed, creating a "ghost" effect.  I quickly dabbed up any excess moisture with a soft cloth. 

Letting this process to completely dry, I then splattered some white acrylic paint mixed with water over the panel.  

The mask was removed from the focal image and RI#2012-H "Poinsettia"  was then stamped in light gray ink in the center of the bulb.  I used Copic markers to color the background of the bulb around the poinsettia as well as the poinsettia itself.  

Copic Markers were used to create faint lines or strings for the bulbs and a gel glitter pen was used to add a little sparkle.  It's subtle, but RI Stamp # 2015-D "Tiny Poinsettia"  was stamped into the bg with water to create more texture.  

To finish off the card, I used a Viva glitter pen to add silver dimension to the bulb hanger piece.  A torn edge die was used to cut and frame the panel and Distress Ink was used to add a dark edging.  

Here's the inspiration.  As you can readily see, I gravitated toward the colors and the poinsettia.  

To see outstanding examples for this inspiration please check out the blogs of my team-mates.
