I just received word the other day, that I made it to the 1st Round at Simple Scrapbook Magazine's "
So You Think You Can Stamp" Contest! YAY!! I'm very excited but very SCARED!! LOL Only 16 people made it to this round! The first Round you have to use a stamping technique called "Stamp Kissing" on a layout.

So, here is mine! I used the technique on the flowers, butterflies, tags and the journaling spot. I also used some Bo Bunny paper, Prima Crystals, Magic Mesh and some mesh ribbon.

For the flowers, I first stamped the solid images in a light blue and brown ink. I then stamp the outline stamps in a darker blue and brown ink. Then, in white ink, I stamped some swirly images onto the petals. Finished them off with some glitter glaze and a brad. One of the large flowers has 3 layers and the other has 2.

For the butterflies I did relatively the same way only I used 5 different colors, 2 shades of blues, 2 shades of browns and some white. For the large tag, I stamped the french script background and then the tag stamp over that and the same for the small tag that says "Memories".

For the journaling spot, I stamped the round circles first in a blue ink and then in a brown ink. Then the inner lines with a brown ink. And finally, I stamped some little flowers on top of that, with a light blue ink and brown centers.


I am super excited about this. Please come and vote for me
