March Stamp of the Month - Happy Tails

The March Stamp of the Month winner was Happy Tails, this is one feature every month that I cannot wait to participate in. When the winner is announced, I know that I then get to play!!  Create four cards that my stamping ladies will enjoy and like, I am always so happy to hear what they think. This is a monthly feature that anyone can participate in!  All you need to do is send me a check or request that I invoice you via PayPal for $24; you will receive in return the Stampin' Up! stamp set and a four card kit (that has everything you need to make four cards using your new stamp set) all you need to supply is the adhesive and ink!  It really is a great deal, so contact me if you are interested.  It is also a great way to get started with rubber stamping!

March Stamping Technique - Blends Marbling

Let's create a fun background, you can go soft or you can go hard!  Depending on the color that you choose you'll find that the colors don't always appear as you think they will. Using darker colors doesn't mean that your piece will have them prominently up front. Color with a "heavy" pigment tend to sink to the background when doing this technique. The lighter colors will always come to the top or front of the piece. Which explains while even when using Dark Night of Navy or Light Night of Navy, the blue comes out more with the Light Night of Navy.

You will need Stampin' Blend Markers, Glossy Cardstock, Ziploc bag, Rubbing Alcohol and Paper Towels. Taking a lighter color (for a soft look) or darker color (for a hard look), scribble some ink on the Ziploc Bag. Spritz lightly with Rubbing Alcohol and then "smooch" the bag all over the Glossy Cardstock, making sure the piece is totally covered. Wipe off access ink with paper towels.

Here are the cards that we made:
