Guest Designing for 52CCT - Green and Red

 Hi Everyone, The new challenge at  52CCT , where I am honored to be guest designer for this week. The theme is Green and Red  - very traditional colors, so I went with non-traditional stamps, LOL! I used a left over background from a prior project (water colored). I stamped the monster and dog (Stampotique) onto scrap paper, colored them with alcohol ink markers and cut them out. Stamped them again onto the card base and added the cut-outs. Added the sentiment (Ellen Hutson). I trimmed the card and added my favorite strip of patterned paper at the bottom. I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting! and don't forget to kink up your card with  52CCT ! Happy Stamping!

Funky Fossil Designs - Grow Positive

Hi Everybody!  Funky Fossil Designs came out with a stunning paper pad and a wonderful new stamp set called  Grow Positive . I stamped the leaves and cut them out.
