Playing Around with my New Loot

So I’ve been working with my new loot from my demonstrator’s starter kit. I’m learning to use some new stuff, specifically the pastels, the two step stamps, and the Versa-Mark. At first I just played around a little trying to get a look at the stamps and the colors, etc.

Then I started to put together some cards. Each one was playing with something a little bit differently. My first card was with the bird from the Always stamp set, I really like this bird. I wanted to use a single card color and white so I chose something darker, Perfect Plum. Here’s what I made, I like the way it turned out with the white contrast against the dark background color.

Perfect plum cardstock, classic ink, and designer series paper; Whisper white cardstock and craft ink; Always stamp set.

Next I wanted to try out the pastels. This is what I created, simple and elegant.

I wanted to play with my alphabet set and figure out good ways to use it. Here’s what I made.

Whisper White cardstock; Pixie Pink, Tempting Torquoise, and Green Galore classic inks; One of a Kind and Jumble Alphabet stamp sets; pastels.

I also worked on the two step stamping and the Versa-Mark, but I don’t love what I’ve created yet. Not even liked it enough to post it. It is yet to come!
