June 22, 2016 THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT


GOOD MORNING



This is the 4th Wednesday of the month and that means "SKETCH CHALLENGE" over at The House that Stamps Built.  I used a water color wash on water color paper - waited for it to dry (important step) then stamped the cups directly on the circles that I cut with spellbinders dies.  I stamped the flowered cup again on opposite colors, fussy cut the flowers, took my hole punch and punched out the flower centers and glued them down.  I have a stencil that I use a lot and sponged orange and blue "rings" for my background.  



The set I used from REPEAT IMPRESSIONS is Thanks a latte 9303P and it worked very nicely for this sketch.  I also turned the sketch and made this:



Same sketch turned the opposite way - same stamp set and for the background I used a new folder that has latte/frappe cups embossed.  My friend Diane had used this on one of her cards and I knew it was going to my collection of embossing folders.  I always need a thank you card in my collection.

Hoping you will create a card over at The House that Stamps Built.  You don't have to use a REPEAT IMPRESSIONS stamp but if you do you will an additional entry in the random drawing drawing for a a $25  REPEAT IMPRESSIONS gift certificate.  HINT:  Take a look over on my side bar and you will see a 10% discount on REPEAT IMPRESSIONS STAMPS.  We would love to see your creation.
Now go take a peek at what our Design Team teammates have created for this weeks challenge.
