Oscar Hansen of Door County Rubber Stamps and Scrapbooking, LLC has invited a group of people to create samples for her store, and for her to take with her to conventions to showcase her lines of rubberstamps, etc. Oscar has thousands of wonderful stamps in her store and most of them are designed and manufactured in-house.
Oscar sent out a box of stamps, papers and embellishments to each of us. (Well, she handed mine to me because I work for her.) I think she sent different "subject" stamps to each of us. I was tickled to see that my box contained items for Halloween!
Then, I ran into stampers block. When coming up with ideas for cards I need to make to send to someone, I don't have much trouble. But, just let someone want me to make a card(s) for them, and my mind goes blank!
So, I took myself off to the Splitcoast galleries and went to the Halloween gallery to browse for inspiration. Very seldom do I CASE a card and have it come out even remotely like the card that excited me....except in this case.
This one came out almost exactly like the card I CASEd...right down to the recipe...because this recipe sounds much yummier than the one I was going to use. Thanx Laurie for the wonderful example!
I'm sorry, but I didn't know how to put Laurie's blog address into this so you would only have to click on it to go to her blog and see her recipe card, but the address is below:
My image is different, as are the bg papers, but otherwise, it's the same as Laurie's.
I colored the image with Prisma pencils, then blended the pencil with Turpenoid, an odorless turpentine substitute. I cut out the image and mounted it. I added a few punched maple leaves, and layered it all together.
Once again....thank you Laurie!
