Pick of the Week from Repeat Impressions

Today it is my turn to pick a few stamps from Repeat Impressions to be featured.  I wanted to try a background technique called tone on tone.  I went thru my Repeat Impressions stamps and found so many that would work well with this technique.  Here are the cards I made.

Repeat Impressions images used are:
5120-K, Palm Frond Sil. (lg)
5709-I, Ginkgo
6806-U, Sheet Music

Repeat Impressions sentiments used are:
2515-H, Hope your birthday
2501-H, Happy Birthday from . . .
7123-G, I Stamp

Technique:  Cards were stamped with Versamark Watermark ink and then clear embossing powder was spread on the first two.  Gold embossing powder was used on last one with the Ginkgo background.  A few embellishments were added and really quick I had 3 cards done.

These stamps make impressive backgrounds.  I hope you will give them a try.  Thank you for looking at my cards.  Have a happy stamping day!

Anything Goes July Challenge

Good Morning stamping friends!  Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has issued our monthly "Anything Goes" Challenge.  I have to tell you that I was so excited for this one because I did a project that was so much fun and I'm so glad to be able to share it!

I do a lot of family get togethers at our summer home in Maine and we go thru a lot of paper cups (being an island, we try to use as little plastic as possible).  I ordered some plain paper cups from Amazon - they were cheap.  When they arrived I felt like they looked cheap - so I got out my stamps and went to stamping!  I had so much fun and I did 250 cups in 15-20 minutes.  I had my stamps on stamping blocks and inked most of them in one color.  

Here are a few of them

 Here is a list of the Repeat Impressions sentiments and images I used.
Cheers
Why Limit
Laughter is the best
Friends and Wine
Wine Label
(these above are from the Wine Time Series)
Need a fire permit
Retirement
Maine
Lobster

What a fun week to join us in the Anything Goes Challenge.  You could win the $25.00 gift certificate that Wendy is offering in a random drawing.You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Inspirational Challenge

Good Morning Stamping Friends!  How is your week going?  Today is Wednesday and Wendy has an Inspirational Challenge for us.  Here is the photo

Wow - What beautiful colors!  As i saw this - my first thought was ice cream -- but stamping and coloring ice cream would have made me stop to run go get some -- and that I don't need!  So I turned to gardening and flowers!  Here in the northeast flowers are blooming everywhere so here is a card.

This was watercolored softly with a lot white.  The images are from the Container Series - lots of options for jar fillers in this series and the sentiment is Wishing you... from the Quartet Complements Sentiment Series

Why not join us this week in the challenge --- you could win the $25.00 gift certificate that Wendy is offering in a random drawing.You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Designer's Choice Challenge

Good Morning!  This is our Designer's Choice Challenge time at Repeat Impressions!  Donna's challenge to us was to use the colors Red White and Blue.  I consider myself pretty patriotic, but wanted something a little different so here is the card I made.

I used one of my favorite images called Compass and the stamped sentiment I thank my lucky...... on vellum and heat embossed.  I added a few silver star sequins to the blue designer paper.

This would be a good week to join in our challenge with your red white and blue projects.  Why not join us this week in the challenge --- you could win the $25.00 gift certificate that Wendy is offering in a random drawing.You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Pick of the Week - Fairies in the Garden

Today it is my turn to pick a couple of stamps that Wendy owner of Repeat Impressions would like to feature.  I was so happy to do this because I wanted you to look at a few of the Garden Fairy stamps that Wendy has created.  I'm not really focusing on the sentiments because the fairies are so cute. I took 3 of them and made cards.  They are called

Fairy Kiss this was stamped, colored with copics and was so easily cut out.

Fairy's Lantern was stamped, colored with watercolor pens and put on some designer paper.

Fairy's Fun/Bumblebee was stamped on a tag, colored with copics and framed on black paper.

One of the sweetest ones is a fairy taking a little nap on top of a sunflower which I will post later -- you can check all of them out here - Garden Fairies Stamps.  I didn't focus on the sentiments because Repeat Impressions has so many sentiments that would be appropriate for any of these sweet stamps.  Thanks for looking at my cards.

P.S.  In case you are wondering:
Happy Birthday was masked
Sheet Music Background stamp was used on Fairy Lantern
