Fave stamp brand at Creative Inspirations

Morning all - hope you're having a good day. Thanks for all of your lovely comments yesterday - its always nice to hear what you think!

This week's challenge at Creative Inspirations  (cinspirations) is Your Favourite Stamp Brand!
Simply use a Stamp on your creations from your favourite stamp brand.

This week we have 2 prizes and the first one is from CLASSY CRAFTS who are giving away a
£10 Voucher!


The next prize is of course from our monthly sponsor J&C CREATIONS who are offering another 
£10 GIFT CERTIFICATE!



 My favourite stamp brand - is probably Sheena Douglass - so that's what I chose to use here. Its was a great excuse to use this fabulous stamp from the little bit magical set.



To make my card I started out stamping and colouring the image with promarkers and then masked it off. Then I stamped the leaves and ivy trails in versamark and added embossing powder and heat set. Next I used distress inks to create the background using cut and dry foam. Next I cut the card with a spellbinders die and mounted it onto a piece of brown card that I had embossed with a darice woodgrain embossing folder. I repeated the procedure of the distress inks with the base and then added the leaves and sentiment that I stamped and cut out.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Kaboodle Doodleskaboodledoodles: Use orange
FSCfashionablestampingchallenges: Autumn colours
Crafters Companioncrafterscompanion: Embossing
Passion for promarkerspromarkerchallenge: One for the boys 




Before I go here's a quick look at the card I made with my coffee pot ladies  on Monday morning. I stamped on acetate and coloured with Imagination Crafts silkies. After drying I cut out the flowers and mounted on the background using silicon glue.  The background is distress inks and the sentiment LOTV. They enjoyed doing this!


Hope you have a fabulous Wednesday and thanks for dropping by!
