I learned this background technique on Operation Write Home “Stars & Stamps” this week, put together by Cindy O. I used Copic markers and Ranger Alcohol Blending Solution to create the background for this flower stamp. This stamp was created by Pacific Northwesterner Fred Mullett who has wonderful nature-inspired images. Thanks for stopping by.

- Stamp set – The Cat’s Pajamas “Presto” (both rabbit/hat and sentiment) – image colored with Copic markers
- Die cuts – Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Labels Twenty” and “Ribbon Banners”
- Patterned paper – American Crafts “a la Carte: Balsamic”
- Cardstock – solids – Bazzill; Dots – BoBunny “Wine Dot”
This stamp set couldn’t have been more perfect for my needs this week. I just happened to spot it on the Cat’s Pajamas’ site last week and quickly ordered it, knowing that I planned to make cards to present to Trenton’s magic mentors at their magic show tonight. Not a lot of time, but I got the set very quickly (Thank you!) and went about making four of these cards for the mentors. I was inspired by the current Clean & Simple sketch #167 for the card design. I colored and cut out the bunny image and popped it up, along with the sentiment banner, for some dimension. It was fun to layer this card with the different patterns and textures. Thanks for stopping by.

I was inspired by a tutorial on Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps to make a layered card. I am making Valentines to send off to the troops right now, so I thought I’d use one of my Fluffles stamps for this one! I colored Fluffles with Copic Markers and added several layers to the card to make colors stand out. Thanks for visiting.

- Cardstock – Bazzill Basics and Bazzill Bling

This week’s challenge at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps is to make a card for any occasion without a sentiment on the front. I found that I’m unusual in that I like to design card without sentiments! They can be used for many reasons and they just make me feel more freedom when designing. So this was a pretty easy challenge for me, I guess! Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you soon.
