ISC Challenge

Do you love layout and color challenges? Get out your Innovative Stamp Creations images and come and play along with the creative architects - you could win an ISC stamp sheet of your choice!

The Layout and Colors:

Be inspired by the above layout and colors and create a card using only ISC stamps and then head on over to the ISC blog and leave a comment to be entered for your chance to win. You have until March 7th to complete your design!

To help inspire you here is my sample Butterfly Because:

Side View:

The main panel is a reverse image stamp. I stamped the text first on vanilla card stock, inked the edges, then clear embossed the image. Then I blended with distress inks using my lightest colors first and did a final blend with my watercolor brush.

Thinking of spring - but we are expecting more snow today!

Happy Creating!

KAT

the Stuff:
Stamps - Nature Silhouette I, Assemblage, About Me, Thoughtfulness (all Innovative Stamp Creations)
Ink - Coffee Archival; Old Paper, peeled paint, fired brick, aged mahogany distress inks (Ranger)
Other - Fleur De Lis (spellbinder)
