SSS August Card Kit

Today I am featuring some cards that I made using supplies from the Simon Says Stamp August card kit.


This first card uses the Moroccan stencil included in the kit. I used Versamark ink over the stencil to create a clear heat embossed area using the stencil.


I love the shine on the card that the heat embossing created! I used some of the patterned papers from the kit to create the flags and heat embossed the sentiment (also from the kit!) in black.


This next card only features the papers from the kit - but they were perfect for this adorable stamp from My Favorite Things!
 
I made this fun flower using die cuts and tissue paper.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Hang in There

I literally only discovered Tiddly Inks this morning. If you have not had a chance to look into these adorable digital and clear stamps, you need to!
 
 
I downloaded an adorable stamp called Wryn - Hanging Around and knew I had to play with it. I have had issues in the past of printing digital stamps and then not being able to color them with my copics because of smearing the ink. Last summer I bought a new Canon printer and realized I hadn't used it yet with digital stamps. I held my breath and printed on the best setting in grayscale. I also let it dry for about two hours before I started coloring. Success! No smearing!
 
 
 
I also decided to play along at SplitcoastStampers for the weekly sketch challenge.
