Addicted to Stamps and More #172

Hi guys

Make Your Mark
You can find the challenge guidelines here.


Our Sponsor this week is the fabulous Stamporations and one lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate!


Here's my DT card...


Although I'm in desperate need of some Christmas cards right now I went ahead and made a girlie birthday card!  No idea why! lol

I stamped this lovely image from The Greening Farm and learned the hard way as, after completing my first coloured image I stamped the sentiment at the end and then dropped my stamp right over the image! Arrghhhh......so I had to start the whole thing again from scratch!

On a white cardstock panel I stamped the image and then stamped the sentiment alongside BEFORE I commenced my colouring!  I coloured the image with my ProMarkers and FlexMarkers, although I'm still struggling with my lack of blendable shades (note to self...stop buying stamps and get more markers!).  I covered the card base with some neutral polka dot paper and then adhered the panel in the bottom right corner.  

Materials used:
  • Stamps: The Greeting Farm - Rain Snow Shine; Clearly Besotted - It's Your Birthday
  • Ink: Impress - Jet Black; Versafine - Onyx Black
  • Coloured with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers
  • Patterned Paper: MFT - Dots & Stripes Neutral
