I made this Thank You card from the hostess set A Little Bit of Happiness. I used:

STAMPS - A Little Bit of Happiness & Canvas Background Stamp

CARDSTOCK - Very Vanilla, Really Rust and Chocolate Chip

INKS - Chocolate Chip

STAMPIN' PASTELS - More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust and Creamy Caramel

This is the first time I have used my Stampin' Pastels and I was very impressed. They are great if you want a softer effect when colouring in stamps. So simple to use with the blender pen too!

Thanks for Looking!

SEEING SPOTS in Elegant Eggplant

I made this card for Abi's weekly challenge for last week. I've had the week off so more time to craft.

I used:

STAMPS - Seeing Spots & Canvas Background stamp (cut smaller)

CARDSTOCK - Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White

INKS - Basic Black, Basic Gray and Elegant Eggplant

PUNCHES - 1 - 1/4" Circle and 1 - 3/8" Circle

STAMPIN' UP! SUPPLIES - SNAIL Adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals (very impressed as not used these before and they peel away so easily much easier than the 3D Foam I used to buy)

I really liked these colours together. I also find the Canvas Background Stamp very versatile. It can be used to cover the whole front of the card or trimmed as I have to give a totally different effect.

Thanks for looking
