Online Card Classes "Stretch Your Stamps 2"

Even though I like to buy new stamps I still love my older stamps and I am always happy to find new ways to use it! That's why I signed up for the current Online Card Class "Stretch Your Stamps 2". Also, because I really enjoyed their Watercolor Class (did you know that you can still sign up for it? There is a life time access to all the videos).

I took time today to make a card after watching Laura Sterckx video in which she created an ombre background. I used her layout (because I just love her style) but used different colors and a very long neglected background stamp from Judikins.






 I like the result and it was pretty easy. I am sure I will use this technique more often!

Hope to see you soon with more "homework".

Hugs,
Susanne

Stamps: Judikins (background), Hero Arts (sentiment)
Ink: Distress Ink (faded Jeans)

Hello, classmate!! How wonderful to spot your card in the gallery, then come over to see its stunning beauty in 'full size' here! I haven't submitted anything yet, because *head hanging* I don't have any 'suitable' full size background stamps, and I can't yet wrap my head around adapting what I do have. I need to make something though..maybe my script stamps will work! Whatever...I'll figure it out or better yet, go shopping and catch up with these lessons later. Win-win either way! Yours here - fabulous! A++++++
Hugs~c
