I have to tell you am super-excited to be learning all about stamping with Jennifer McGuire and her "Thinking Inking" class over at Two Peas for the next several weeks (Um, NINE!)...so excited that I really wanted to keep my energy up for playing along and yours as well. So here is what I decided I wanted to do.
Each week, if you show me that you've played along by linking me to your post at Two Peas or on your blog or somewhere (anywhere, really!), I will enter you in a drawing for some stamping supplies. This week I think it'll be a pad of some of the awesome Ranger Distress Ink we're learning about (I have some "Pine Needles" ready for a good home) as well as some fun limited edition BasicGrey doodle stamps! Each week I'll do the same thing until we have some kind of fun grand giveaway at the end of the class! So how about it? Start linking me up! To get you started, here are a few I did after watching Jen's video....
Here is the finished project:
Supply List: Hero Arts stamps, Ranger Distress Ink, BasicGrey PP and Bling It, Bazzill CS, Uniball Signo Pen, Heidi Swapp Mask and more....
Here are the tags in process as I was working on them:
This first tag is the water wicking technique (gone a little wrong down the middle - ha!), then water stamping and finally the masking! I had such fun doing these and I never would have tried these techniques on my own.
Here's more as I was developing them into cards:
And finally a bit of detail....
So go on! I want to see what you've done! Link me up so I can enter you to win some goodies! :)Oh!!! And before I forget....Studio Calico's Sneak Peek of their July Kit is now up on their site and let me tell you, it's amazing!! Here's a little sample of a project I've done with this new kit. I can't wait to have some time to work with it a little more!
Happy Tuesday & Happy Scrapping! I've got a little boy who's birthday is coming up on Thursday and as he says "I'm so 'cited!" :)
xoxo,

Thanks again for the challenge!
Not sure which post I should have left my card on, so please excuse my double post!
Here is one of my cards from part 3...http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/pg.asp?cmd=display&layout_id=1502602
I made a few cards. I'm not a cardmaker and don't claim to be but, I tried, tee hee.
I also don't have the blending tool (yet, LOL) that Jen uses in her video so I just edge inked both my cards.
