Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, I am having two cards today. My first one I made for the Papertrey 8th year birthday celebration : All supplies are from Papertrey. I used the sketch and color scheme listed below. The sentiment is not black, but avocado. Not sure if it shows in the picture.... My second card I made for the Muse challenge . I missed the last two (too busy...) and I really wanted to play, especially since I was the lucky winner of their generous blog candy! Thank you again Muse ladies! I wanted to use my goodies, but it did not quite work for the card that Vicki made for us to be inspired.... here is my interpretation: Here is Vicki's fabulous Muse card:  All stamps are by STAMPlorations -   Sentiment Builders: Love  and  Distressed Damask Background . Added the ring of metallic paper and the punched  hearts I am also adding this card to: Cuttlebug Mania -  I {heart} you Dazzling Diva Challenge #61 - Matters of th...

Here is my tutorial: I started out with water color paper, Versamark and that beautiful STAMPlorations Damask background stamp. I used mu embossing buddy first, to get clean embossing.  Her is a little trick I learned from Jennifer McGuire - on large stamps I put the paper on the stamp and then rub my fingers over the paper to get all the ink onto the paper rather than pressing the stamp onto the paper. You see that I did not even bother to remove the stamp from its plastic sheet.... I sprinkled it with white embossing powder - clear would probably work just as well, but my clear embossing powder is not as fine as my white one and I wanted all that detail.  I sprinkled various Brusho greens onto the paper, starting with turquoise at the top. The paper then looks like you added a little bit of pepper from...
