Card #100 |
Mama and I used to buy Stampin' Up stamp sets and color them with chalks. I've forgotten how fun it is to color images with chalks! Yesterday while browsing through Michael's (one of my favorite things to do), I noticed they had the Clear Stamps on SALE. Most of them were $2.49 or $1.79. Wow. That's pretty good considering they usually are anywhere from $10 - $15. So Bonnie & I picked up several sets. Here's all the details on this card:
A2 size card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2")
Card base is blue from Stampin' Up - my last of this gorgeous blue I have :(
Background gingham blue paper from Recollections cut @ 4" x 5 1/4"
Clear Stamp ELEPHANT from Inkadinkado WELCOME BABY
Sentiment from Hero Arts FRIENDS
Stamped with StazOn Jet Black Ink (won't smear if using watercolors or markers)
Button, Rhinestones, Hemp all from stash
Other background papers and mats from Recollections & Stampin Up
This card is for the following Challenges:
1) One Stop Craft Challenge - #123 Bling
2) Sugar Creek Hollow - Anything Goes
3) Mark's Finest Papers - #47 Use 3 pastel colors, 3 bling, & 1 image

HI Janis. Great deals! Cant beat those savings. I might have to swing by and try to see if mine around here has those discounts. Love the card. I like elephants, esp Dumbo.
ReplyDeleteSuch soft, beautiful colors the chalks gives! TFS =)
ReplyDeleteLove the elephant! Elephants are everywhere these days in the baby world, and I have been so drawn to them with this little one on the way. I checked my Michaels for this stamp set last night and it is still full price... $9.99. $5.99 with a coupon, but still not $2.49 like lucky you! :-)
ReplyDeleteHope all is well!
