Club Scrap July 2017 Artist Team Challenge

Greetings!  If you've been hopping with Club Scrap today, you probably arrived here from Lisa's blog.  If you didn't and you want to check out the hop order, or you found something fantastic on Lisa's blog that you have to buy RIGHT NOW, head back to Club Scrap by clicking here. 

This challenge was a real thinker.  We were asked to use stamps or a stencil to create a frame to highlight a section of a card.  I am generally happy with the cards I made, but boy, are they all over the place in terms of style! 
Picture
My first card uses the "Cherry Blossoms" set.  I cut apart flower sections of one of the papers and colored over them to make them more purple.  Then I used the small flower stamps to make a frame around the sentiment.  This is one of my all-time favorite Club Scrap kits, and I was happy to get a chance to use it again!

The second card uses an older set called "Stamped Bouquet."  I stamped the main image twice, colorimg the image with Copics that I fussy cut and added on top of the base card.  I framed the floral image and the sentiment with one of the smaller, more linear stamps from the set.  I popped up a second set of the thin image on top of the base images.  I added some black ribbon from the "Pattern Play" kit and called it a day!
Picture
This last card is my favorite.  I used stamps from the "Nice To See You" kit.  On the white base card, I stamped the eye chart around the perimeter.  I then stamped the old-fashioned classes in four sections of the card, adding Glossy Accents to them.  I then smudged the images with my fat finger, so I added lots of dots to try to disguise the mess!  I added the sentiment to the center of the card, enhanced with another pair of the glasses, and threw on some dashed lines around the edge to connect the frame.

I used the light blue paper - although it reads light green here - from "Garden Shed," another one of my favorite kits!

That's it for me and my new camera - huge learning curve - for this challenge.  From here, you'll head to Wendy's blog!

Thanks for dropping by, and I hope to see you again really soon!

Kelly this is a terrific set of cards my friend. I like how you took the challenge and ran with it, and the black ink really makes them POP! Nice cover up with the smudges, if you hadn't mentioned it I would never have noticed. Great job with your new camera!

I love that the three styles are so different...I think that demonstrates the versatility of this technique. All three cards are cute...but the final "glasses" one is my fave. Such a clever use for that stamp...and love the dimension you added to the lenses!
