Well I hope this is early enough for you die-hard, challenge-addicted stampers! I'm keeping it easy again this week as the Christmas and holiday countdown is getting down to the wire. This week your challenge is to find ways to use Versamark in your works of art. I know that we all use this all the time so try to do something new or something that you haven't done in a while. I have also attached a file called Versatile Versamark if you would like some ideas. I am sorry that I don't remember where I got it so I am not able to give proper credit. Please feel free to share any ideas or tips you have or even questions on this thread.
Please remember to put WT40 in your keywords section when you upload and post a link back here so that we can all be inspired.
Thanks to all who participated in the challenge last week. We all loved your awesome work and enjoyed so much participation even though it is a very busy season.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and happy holidays,
Ahhh how fun, I just used my versamark this morning on my second card, but I can't post it here....hmmm that means I will have to get back to stamping....shoot twist my arm!!!
I did the batik technique. This is a first for me, so I did it wrong the first time. Second time turned out much better. Here's my heartfelt batikcard.
Here are my first 2 attempts at the versamark challenge...gotta love that versamark...on the 2nd card, I accidently sponged on the green...could not get it off...no mistakes in stamping, huh?
Ok, this is my last attempt at this challenge so some of you other gals can post! I love versamark and had so much fun making this card. I used versamark on the black bg and versarmark on the central image as well.
Oh my goodness, I tried the embossing the brads, and wow, it worked, I LOVE it, now I can make white brads!!!!! I'm soooo excited!!! I don't know if I will get time to make a card, but I did two brads!!!!
Thanks for sharing your list!!!

I got one done today along with baking cookies. I did Versa Mark with my black embossing powder for the card background. I combined with the sketch challenge.
I love doing Versamark resist and brayering multicolored ink over it! I feel like a kid mastering a magic trick when I do it. :cool: Here are my submissions for this challenge:
Wow, didn't even check here before stamping tonight and still managed to meet the challenge. Here's one that was done for SC51 and CC40, using only versamark and no ink (except for the greeting inside).
I'm finally getting time to play. This challenge was a big stretch for me as I'm not much good with versa and pastels. I tried Reverse Pastels. This is not my favorite but I appreciate Julia's challenge and making me think outside my talent skill level.
I was glad to know about using versamark with classic ink for embossing. I used VM with Hunter and clear ep for the sentiment on this card. It wasn't quite as dark as I would have liked, but it worked!
WT40 - Come play along...
Catching Up!
