I have been without internet for several days. AHHHHH! I'm not kidding. I just don't function well without it. But I've been working on this at my daughter's house, at my mother's house, at the doctor's office. pretty much wherever I can find some wifi. So if it seems like I'm bouncing all over the place..... I AM. lol.

I've created two cards today using the same stamp. I chose Contemporary Floral
For this card, I actually used two stamps. The main stamp is the new August stamp called Contemporary Floral. After I stamped the image, I colored it with my copic markers and matted it on some black paper, and then again on some green patterned paper. For the sentiment, I used the THANK YOU from the set of stamps called Simple Sentiments 2b. I cut the stamp in half so I could divide the words and stack them on my punched out circle.
For this card I again chose the new August release stamp Contemporary Floral . This time I used the stamp for both the main focal point and for the background. First on the background, I stamped on a piece of white card stock using a grey stamp pad. I stamped all around the edges of the cardstock, using mostly the top portion of the stamp. Then I stamped the full stamp image on a smaller piece of white cardstock, this time in purple. I matted the smaller piece with a dark purple piece of cardstock. I used a piece of craft foam behind the matted image to make it pop above the background piece. I've used the foam piece before, so if you have questions you can let me know, or refer back to some of my earlier cards.
Dont forget to check out all of the new stamps at Technique Junkies and to also take advantage of the sale that's going on until the 8th.
