let's start with a
challenge, like I normally do on Monday's around here :) The challenge is to create a MASCULINE project. We'd love for you to play along, post to our gallery and maybe stay and chat a bit at the forum.
I am pretty sure that vintage cards are manly...so I went with that. I mentioned the release of GM stamps by CHF and how fun these were to play with...super easy to color too. Fine Houndstooth stamp was used to add a pattern, Prima ribbon, Prismacolor colored pencils and CHF ultra smooth paper. I stamped with Sepia Ranger ink.
*Tip bend the sentiment around the image...yup, this works great with red rubber stamps as long as they are long and thin*
next we have a sale...and sparkly one at that! ART GLITTER is the product spotlight. You will find lots of great info in the forum...here's the info. Runs through July 24.
how about an ATC...remember that these cuties are 2.5 x 3.5. I used Christmas Critters and Heart Warmers...sentiment is not necessary as these are intended to be little works of art. I used the glitter in the heart. Colored pencils by Prismacolor and inks by Clearsnap
*Tip use a glue pen by Sakura and then sprinkle it with the Art Glitter...allow to dry and yummmm*
lastly today is another sneak for you...more paper!
You are aware of our Scrapblocks™ by now, I hope. CHF has designed a solid paper pack that will work wonderfully with our 6 x 6 stamps. Becky has the details on her blog. Here is a taste:
and I leave you with another fun fact...have a great day :)
*FF Coffee has about five times as much caffeine than Coke* (wonder if it can clean a toilet like coke can*
