August Stamp of the Month - Lots of Love

The August Stamp of the Month was Lots of Love.  Elegant greenery stamps would look grand in any variety of colors or class it up with touches of black and gold. Pair with the all-occasion sayings and you'll be feeling the love even more. The Lots of Love stamp set also coordinates with the Whole Lot of Love Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Lets take a look at the great cards that was created for this stamp set.

Stamp Set:  Lots of Love
Ink:  Memento Black, Bermuda Bay
Markers:  Regal Rose, Old Olive, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime
Paper:  Bermuda Bay Base, Whisper White Layer
Accessories:  Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon, Dimensions
HINT:  To make the word "Love" pop, I cut the word out and attached with dimensions. By coloring the stamps with markers I was able to have flower stems one color and the flowers another color.

Hello Everyone,
The stamping technique Emboss Resist has been around for awhile, but we changed it up a bit last week at the September Technique Class, adding Designer Series Paper.

By using a Background Stamp, ink it up with Versamark Ink and add Clear Embossing Powder.  After Embossing, sponge on ink and then wipe off the "Resist" part.  A beautiful background is created!
