AI...
was ummm, just ok. I wish they hadn't done more Beatles songs this week. Why does Jason look like John Travolta's kid to me? The night was actually not impressive at all...hoping next week is MUCH better. (Please send Kristy Lee home)
The light of peace stamp from the Thomas Kinkade collection by Cornish Heritage Farms
Muted Moods Queue stackers ink Clearsnap
Chestnut Roan ink by Clearsnap
patterned paper by Creative Imaginations
button by Heidi Grace
ribbon by Beaux Regards
flower by Prima
card stock tag by Making Memories
card stock by Prism
idea to note:
1. I added some soft brown ink to the blue ink before stamping
2. I didn't ink the entire stamp...I let it fade to the left
*Tip don't ink an entire stamp...leave off the end and let an image fade...just add less and less ink as you go along*
*Tip 2 try something that intimidates you, scrap/stamp wise. I like to experiment with images and products that seriously scare me...thinking this was has helped me grow as an artist...hope you give something new a try*
*FF When a dog blinks it shows friendliness* (yeah...I am pretty sure that if a Rotty blinks while it's chewing off my leg that I will NOT think it's friendly)

Love that stamped image Kim, and how you let it 'fade'... I never would have 'thunk' of doing that :O
Thanks for the great tips and encouragement to try something new!

Beautiful job! I am intimidated by the kincade stamps...I'm too afraid that I'll go stamp one and the entire center of the image wont trasfer.

This is so beautiful Kim! I love the monochromatic picture to the right with a bit of color and design to the left.
