Stamp of the Week with Repeat Impressions~Wings Positive

The stamp of the week this week at Repeat Impressions is this wonderful sentiment stamp Wings Positive and it is available this week only for 50% off with the discount code found at Repeat Impressions blog.   Please visit the blog for all the details and to see the other Rock Star's cards using this stamp.  Wings Positive is a fun stamp.  Today I paired it with Love Much...

After cutting out the die cuts I left the card stock in the die and sponged with Memento teal zeal.  I added some glitter to the open wings with a Aytou Spica pen.  Unfortunately it didn't show correctly in the photo.  Sometimes I have trouble with solid images stamping completely which has lead me to find a way to save the image.  Here is my tip:Use a copic marker to fill in the incomplete areas.  The trick is not to use black or even a dark gray.  I like to use N3 or N5.  I have also used C3 and C5.  If you are careful it can save the image.  Isn't this a fun stamp?  There are so many possibilities it was hard to pick one for the sample.  Don't forget it is half off this week only!

You can see more inspiration from my RI Rockstar team mates at The House That Stamps Built or on their blogs.

Learning to Dance In The Rain

Hello I want to start off saying that I am deeply saddened by the explosions today in Boston.  I can't even comprehend  the evil and anger that must harbor in the heart of beings that do these types of crimes.  My thoughts and prayers are going out to all of the victims and their loved ones.

Okay time for something happier.  It is time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Greeting Card Challenge.  This week the challenge is April Showers.  You know what that means?  May flowers are just around the corner and with them much nicer weather.  This week Eureka Stamps is sponsoring our challenge.

This card is also going to be entered into Simon Says Challenge, April Showers and or April Flowers. I hope you can play along with us this week.  Thank you for stopping by.

The Outlawz Greeting Card Challenge~Case the Design Team

 Hello Happy Monday!  It is time for another challenge from The Greeting Card Challenge at The Outlawz.  This week the challenge is to case the design team.  I picked the following gorgeous card from Penny Mull.

My take on Penny's beautiful card.

I changed the image, papers and added a sentiment.  The image is Hugs and Kisses from Saturated Canary.  I didn't have that wonderful die so I used some silk ribbon to give the added focal point.  I also didn't add as many flowers as Penny did.  Thank you Penny for such a gorgeous inspiration card.  Make sure you head over to The Outlawz Greeting Card Challenge and check out the rest of the design teams fantastic creations.  I hope you can join us this week.
