365 Cards Day 49 - Getting Inky

Today's challenge is to find at least 2 uses for that stamp pad. 

Any color, any type of ink will do.

And you can keep it simple, as I like to do.

I am not much of a stamper but anyway, here goes.  Stamped 2 square white cards with 3 flowers in pink and drew in the stems with fine artliner.  Stamped sentiment on another square card.  Pasted them on card with patterned paper which looks pretty much stamped itself, and completed it with sakura silk ribbon.  This card is entered in The Outlawz Challenge Paper a la Mode April 14-21

Feeling that I have not done enough stamping and inking, I decided to do a couple more cards using the stamp pad and here they are.  It is amazing to see how the stamp pads themselves become stamps.  The effect is a scruffy look.

365 Cards Day 8 - Circle Up

This challenge got me started with round objects and cutouts of patterned papers. I toyed with different layouts for the longest while but it just did not gel together. Then during dinner, an idea popped in my head to use water colour prints with natural sponge.

Cut out two circles from an old sponge, blotted them with paint and stamped away. To complete the card, I used three types of ribbons and topped it with a piece off my old bracelet, a mother of pearl thingamagic.

What do I call it? A burst of celebration, a celebration of colours.
