OK....onto today's MDS challenge....Using stamps! I tend to rely heavily on already created embellishments (meaning SU did all the work for me!) BUT this week we're challenging you to use your stamps to create beautiful additions to your projects. I chose to use the coffee cup from the Perfect Blend set and then used two fun techniques to "colour" in my stamp. The first was to edit a punch for behind the coffee cup and the "cozie" on the cup.
CLICK HERE to see how to edit a punch.
The other "trick" I used to spice up this creation was to drop a "thick" shadow under the lid and the "cozie" using the freeform tool. I matched the colour to the darker shade of Crumb Cake on the DSP (from Downtown Grunge) and then hand drew the shadow under the lid.... cute, eh?
I'm a HUGE fan of this stamp set and am thrilled with the final look of this creation! And as you can see, it's versatile and can be used for lots of fun cards! The first sample is a punch card idea that can be printed onto a business card size. Cute, eh? The second is a birthday card for some of my coffee loving friends. Can't wait to make more....and tags...and so much more!
Don't forget to stop on over to
Kimberly's blog to check out her awesome sample for today as well as our
Facebook Group ....where there are heaps of samples and even more fun. Have yourself a great day! Hugs,
