Hero Arts Punch Ink that is.......... I got this awhile back but only just used it to ink up some stamps. I have been watching with interest to
Tina and
Martha who are challenging each other to use various stamps/techniques. For their third challenge they CASE'd a card of Tina's. Their cards inspired me to make this card
I don't have the Sunburst stamp they used, but have a lovely doily stamp from Tea with Eloise by Kaisercraft. I started by stamping it with the Punch ink directly onto the corner of my card. Next I stamped Layered Flower by Hero Arts onto some scrap white card and cut it out. I left it white only adding a red heart gem. I added some ribbon and then popped the flower over the top. I added the sentiment from Hero Arts in the top corner. I masked off the word "made" At this point, I stopped and looked at the card... I want to enter it into
CAS-ual Friday's Flower challenge so had to be CAS ~ but it looked unfinished. So a row of little red gems and I feel like it's now finished and still CAS enough!
It also reminded me of the picture for Virginia's View over at
Lily Pad Cards and it fits the criteria for
Paperplay Challenge ~ monochrome with ribbon. Plus I'll throw it into the mix at
Simon Says Stamp Challenge ~ anything goes
I've just got some Banana Nut Bread in the oven. It's a recipe I haven't tried before, so hope it turns out okay. If I make Banana Cake, it seems to not get eaten with just the two of us home these days, but I think the loaf/bread will. I might even freeze some of it.
Hope you all have a great weekend. The weather forecast is for overcast showery weather... perfect for inside stamping!
