February Stamp Club Project #2

This is the second card we made at my stamp club meetings in February.  We started with a piece of glossy cardstock and temporarily adhered a 1 3/8 inch circle to the area we wanted the moon to appear.  Then we inked up the brayer with Bashful Blue ink and ran it across the glossy cardstock.  We used Baja Breeze and rolled it across two-thirds of the card stock (over the Bashful Blue.) Then we used Night of Navy ink and the brayer to ink the bottom one-third of the cardstock.  We carefully removed the paper circle, and then used Stazon ink to stamp the beautiful trees from the "Lovely as a Tree" stamp set.  We layered the stamped piece onto black card stock and then onto a Bashful Blue card, which was embossed using the Tulips embossing folder.  Contact me at kathy.winter@hotmail.com if you would like more information about my stamp clubs or if you would like me to teach you and your friends how to make this card!

February Stamp Club Project #1

This is the first card we made in my February Stamp Club meetings.  We started with a piece of glossy card stock.  Then we tore a piece of wide painter's tape and secured it to the top and bottom of the glossy card stock.  We inked up the brayer using Regal Rose ink, and rolled it across the area not covered with tape.   Next we used Black Stazon ink and a stamp from the Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp set, to stamp a random pattern across the pink inked area.  Then we carefully removed the tape, stamped a greeting, layered it on a piece of black card stock and then onto a Regal Rose card.  Everyone loved this technique, and Stampin' Up's  beautiful glossy cardstock!
