A New Sketch Challenge just for you at The House that Stamps Built

It's Sketch Challenge time at "The House that Stamps Built" For Repeat Impressions Stamps. I'm trying to come up with new techniques to display my cards here on my blog so this week i've chosen to use a Alcohol ink Background.

Here is the Sketch of the week

Spotlight card for Project of the week with Repeat Impressions

Working full time is certainly slowing me down on getting my Projects complete, but i finally have one.

It's my week at "The House that Stamps Built" for a Project of the week using a Repeat Impressions.

I've chosen to use the  "Spotlight Technique" for my Card using the Rubber stamp "912-K Tulip Bouquet". This is really a simple technique but really makes that part of the image pop on your card

HOW TO:

1. To start, Stamp your image twice on two pieces of white cardstock.

2. Punch out the part of the image that you would like "highlighted" using a circle punch. Then color this image as desired.  *I used copic markers on mine and a 1 1/4" circle Punch.

3. Using a punch slightly larger than the first, punch out another circle in whatever color of cardstock that you choose. *I used a 1 3/8" circle punch for this

4. Glue the colored circle to your stamped image that you just colored in step 2 and using a Pop Dot place on your first stamped image.

5. Finish your card as desired

. Thank you! Deonna
