Posts: 39075 (20/07/2008 09:38:38) Administrator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None This weeks challenge is "use your stamp in a different way" You may have a stamp that you bought and have never used or you may have one that you have always used in the same way. So the challenge is to either get out that stamp that is unused and make a card from it, or find that stamp that has been used just one way and find a new and exciting way to use it. I am sure you can come up with something if you really try Could I also kindly ask, if possible to put the pictures on this thread rather than linking them to blogs, as many people don't bother looking unless they are there in front of them. Thank you and enjoy the challenge

Posts: 1166 (20/07/2008 11:24:25) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Here you go then! This is one of my many foam stamps as yet unused. I stamped it on parchment paper with VersaMagic 'Hint of Pesto',mounted it on a bit of checked scrapbook paper that I had lying around,then on a bit of matt gold paper and then on a bronze ribbed metallic card finished off with a little green dotted ribbon that I got in a sale somewhere. Hope you like it, Ali xx

How did oyu know I'd been to the Graphicus sale yesterday and bought a boat-load of stamps (already mounted on Kling-on as they're moving to Ez mount) for bargain basement prices. I only cut them out last night and now have a numb finger! How on earth do I decide which one to use????? Gonna be on all week!! Love Jill x

Posts: 16693 (21/07/2008 07:00:16) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well here`s my challenge card - thanks Tina for a great subject - I have never done a background from different ink colours and then light shades of stamped images topped with the main stamp in a bolder colour - so using the stamp from the centre of the teapot collection I set about making this card and the Sweet chips little girl outfit too The front of the dress is roses printed from Fantasy Floral on fuzzy inkjet paper for extra texture As I have being setting up a blog at the weekend i`m going to try and put more info of how I did it on there if anyone is interested - there should be a link if you click on my avatar - will try and complete that this morning Suzanne Last Edited By: suzanne 21/07/2008 22:04:25.

Posts: 2865 (21/07/2008 17:37:43) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I keep forgetting the little dragonfly stamps and this smaller version of the poppies off this stamp so thought I would put them to use in this challenge. http://www.joannasheen.com/craft-supplies/elusive-images-rubber-stamps-cdroms/elusive-images-unmounted-rubber-stamps/flora-and-fauna-unmounted-themeplate-ua4sp0151/ I also tried for the first time the oil blending method when colouring in, used my liquid pearls for the first time too and the shape was one that I was inspired by from Bev's blog Jenny M xx Last Edited By: Tina 22/07/2008 08:13:52.

The image is stamped on white card and coloured with green chalks, the frame is embossed with aqua tinsel, the flowers are from Joanna's cardmakers year cd and the backing paper is from the Artylicious season's greetings cd.

Posts: 915 (22/07/2008 19:42:08) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hi all This is the card I have made for this weeks forum challenge. The stamp is one of my favourites from Creative Expressions but I have never tried stamping on acetate and glittering before so I thought I would have ago and this is what I ended up with. I have scanned it in so the picture doesn't show that the wings move. Hope you like it Lorraine x

Posts: 1304 (23/07/2008 08:55:04) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've used one of Glenda's stamps on stampboard for this card. The main background of the card is from her Damask Delights CD and the word panel is a matching background stamp with the words stamped over the top. I enjoyed this week's challenge as it made me go and look at all the boxes of stamps that seem to have appeared in my craft room

Posts: 10378 (23/07/2008 19:29:55) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thought I'd better behave myself this week so I don't get Tina's tappy foot man again! I bought these stamps from Joanna when they were on special offer and never used them....... stamping is not my strong point. I used very pale green stardream card as the base card and for the stamped images. Coloured with sakura stardust pens and used some backing paper I already had and the b & w image from a set I have. Decoupaged the corner stamp, the large flower is just a single layer on foam pads, as is the frame which has gold pen-touch round the edge. C xx Last Edited By: CarolPG 23/07/2008 19:32:06.
