New Designs for Spring for Repeat Impressions

I had a great time creating new items with the stamps Wendy challenged us to use this month.




This fan was created using Wendy's LOCKEbility (TM) stamp and stamps from her Legacy Text series. I thought a fan would be a unique and romantic way to create a keepsake for old family photos.




I had lots of fun making alcohol ink backgrounds prior to making this card. I used lots of color combinations, but this one seemed like it was the most spring-like for the "fairy's lantern" stamp.




I like the dimension of this card. It was fun to create the layers of seaweed and water to make it look as if the sea horses and sea turtle are swimming in the ocean.




This card looks a little pale compared to how it really looks. I think the faint peaches did not scan well. I used sandpaper for the sand portion of the card and popped the images to add dimension to the card.




Wendy challenged us to use her "underpants frog" stamp. I thought it would be a fun card if the frogs were jumping out of a package. All the stamps used are from Repeat Impressions.




Wendy challenged us to use a paper she sent to us and to combine it with a stamp we already had from Repeat Impressions. I liked this Christmas paper and combined it with this Christmas verse stamp.
