Stretch Your Stamps Class Day 2

Today was a challenge for me.  Almost all of the cards I do are CAS.  In addition, I have never really played with the "Tim Holtz Technique".  I combined bits from a couple of the examples to make my card.  It certainly is a work in progress, but something I want to continue to play with.

I double embossed the background, the large stamp with clear embossing powder and the butterflies with white.  I expected there to be more contrast between the two, but the white paper behind the clear showed up nearly the same color as the white embossing powder - learning experience!

Stretch Your Stamps Class

Today is the first day of the Stretch Your Stamps class.  I'm hoping to get lots of motivation from this class to kick things into gear!

I used the Studio Calico/Hero Arts background stamp on both cards. The Celebrate card I used the double stamping technique using a Kaleidoscope ink pad.
