Hi! Today's Ways to Use it Challenge is #300 and to celebrate, participants were to combine at least 3 Ways to Use It Challenges and one challenge that had NOT been attempted yet.
Okay...that's not difficult...I don't normally use small or "inchie" stamps. I'm a clutz. I lose them. And, I'm just not that "creative" when it comes to "small." So, for my NEW attempt: WT113 small stamps. I stamped the background with 2 small stamps in VersaMark and embossed them in silver.(WT64-Heat is on.) I used this NEW ribbon (WT09-Ribbon) and stamp set, Hello Sunshine, (WT90 Product Parade). The yellow/orange panel is embossed (WT??? forgot to write it down! LOL) and is square, (WT11. I mounted the stamp onto the acrylic block and used sponges, (WT101-Sponge), to apply the ink to the stamp. I sponged on Cote de Azure and Violete Palette Inks onto the entire image and stamped it onto a piece of Snow Storm Smooth. I used the heat tool (WT64- Heat is on), to dry the inks and then used two yellow/orange Copics, (WT179-Crazy for Copics), to color the moon. Since the outline was blue/violet from the ink, I outlined the moon's face with a black Memento pen. Next, I used a Spellbinders Circle to cut the moon and stars out from the "rays." Then, I stamped the image in Noir and colored in the rays and background with Copics. I adhered the moon circle into the center and then layered the image onto the circles, (WT119 Scallops). The sentiment oval was stamped in Noir and then sponged (WT101-Sponge), in with Palette Inks. I added in Inkssentials highlights to the sentiment, (WT183-White Gel Pen; WT152 Going Dotty).
Okay...that's 10! and, it fits this week's Stampin' B's Challenge: use a star... (And, one of the WT challenges I hosted was to use a charm...I couldn't find the number, so it's really 12!!!)
Finished card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total time to complete: 38 minutes
