SUDSOL Stamping Success Challenge

Twice in one day!

Trying to keep to my resolution I  have entered a challenge on SUDSOL. It is the Challenge from Stamping Success Magazine and THe challenge is to CASE the particular card. I tweeked mine a little by Distressing and sponging the edges of the Whisper White Cardstock (which I cut smaller than the original imag)fe with More Mustard Ink, When I stamped the main image I decided to do some Direct to Rubber Sponge Daubering. Firstly I inked the main image up in More Mustard, then took a Sponge Dauber and inked it up with Early Espresso. I then proceeded to dauber around the image until I had the effect that I wanted. I off stamped the 24-7 in Early Espresso, Punched out the word FRIENDS using the Modern Label Punch XL. The More Mustard Border was punched using the Scallop Border Edge Punch. The small flower was punched using the boho blossom punch. I then distressed and broke the fibres in these two flowers and when the fibres started to seperate, I pulled them apart an put a small brad in the centre, and to finish off the flower I rubbed the petals into the Blushing Bride ink pad. and attached to the card using a mini glue dot. The  word FRIENDS is attached with dimensonals. I also stamped the small butterfly image from the Stamp Set on the Blushing Bride Base Card. I am pleased at how the card turned out and I would love to hear your comments on it too. I apologise for the bad photography, I promise I will get better with the photography! I know the old saying a poor workman will always blame his tools, but my camera is so old and cumbersome that I think I am well in line for a new one!

Bye for now,
