I put my name in for yet another design team. I'm trying out for the I Brake For Stamps design team. I only have 3 of their images and really like them. I made 3 cards using each stamp, so here are some pictures of them.
I absolutely love this image on this card. It can be a challenge to colour because the bears are suppose to be white.
Supplies
Stamps: I Brake For Stamps
Paper: patterned paper (unknown), coloured card stock (Bazzill & Recollections), Wausau Exact Index 80# (image), Office Depot 110# card stock (base)
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black
Tools & embellishments: Copic markers, iridescent glitter glue (Studio G), crystal glitter (Glitterex - snowflake), EK Success corner adorner punch - Venetian, star & rounded corner punch (Dollar Store), glitter organza ribbon (Michaels), brad (Dollar Store)
The next stamp image is one I bought to make my mother's birthday card. Unfortunately, I haven't sent it yet - her birthday was last week (I know, I'm a lousy daughter).

The last card I made is with a very cute snowman stamp. I think about 75% of my Christmas stamps are snowmen.

Well, thanks for looking at my cards. I have to start getting a few more Christmas cards done for the craft shows I have at the end of this month and the beginning of December. After these ones, that's all I'm going to do. They're a lot of work and a lot of fun, but I don't think that they're worth it for the money you make on them. So far I've more or less have broken even on the stuff that I've sold, but I will probably have a couple hundred cards left over and a bunch of altered items that I'll never be able to use. I guess everyone in my family will get a nice big set of cards for Christmas if I don't sell them. I'll send some to the Canadian troops too.
Well, its late, so good night. Talk to you later...
