Stamp With Us 1st Challenge

Stamp With Us is a new blog set up by three Stampin' Up! ladies, who aim to bring us classes retreats and challenges, you can find more information here StampWithUS. This is the first challenge I've entered so far. The challenge was to use this sketch:







This was the card I made using the sketch. The base layer is made using one of the papers from the Tea Party collection. The main image comes from Bundle of Joy and is stamped in bashful blue and coloured with markers in barely banana and pretty in pink. The greeting comes from Nursery Necessities.

• Supplies:

Stamps: Bundle of Joy, Nursery Necessities

Cardstock/Paper: Tea Party DSP, Whisper White and Pretty in Pink

Ink: Bashful ink, Barely Banana and Pretty in Pink Markers

Accessories: 1" Double Stitch Bashful Blue Grosgrain ribbon, scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch and stampin dimensionals

Lovely Simple Rose

This card is the first one I made with my newest stamp set A Rose is a Rose which I treated myself to when I reached Bronze 2. I think this stamp set is gorgeous, I know I say this about most sets but this truly is. Something wonderful happens when you stamp the second layer and it just comes alive. I can see this being a set I will use many, many times.

Supplies:

Stamps: A Rose is a Rose

Cardstock: Whisper White and Creamy Caramel

Ink: Regal Rose, Rose Red, Certainly Celery and Always Artichoke.

I have also started to run card classes from my home, please email me at stampinwithjo@hotmail.co.uk for more details if you are interested in attending.
