Stamp Club February

Earlier this week I started to showed you the Lion Easel Card we made at February's Stamp Club.  There were two more cards we made in February.  The first was our technique card for this card we used the Baby Wipe Swipe Technique to create our over the water sunset.  It's a great technique for backgrounds and is pretty easy although you may need a little bit of practice I did.

When I stamped my image I used the stamp-a-ma-jig and stamped the ship twice in the same place to give me the depth of colour so that I could see the ship easily over the sea that was also Not Quite Navy.  Simply set up your stamp-a-ma-jig and stamp the image using the guide and then reink the stamp and stamp again without moving the guide.

The third and last card we made was part of our monthly challenge.  This months challenge was to do a girls card for a girl up to 7 years old.  I've used very girly colours and the gorgeous Flirtatious Specialty Paper to make the card especially girlish.  You could use this card for an older girl as well, it's just so pretty and cute.  Have a look and see what you think...

Now in class I gave the ladies the option to bling up the little flowers using the Silver Glimmer Paper from the Summer Mini.  This way you can give your special girl diamonds or pearls... what girl doesn't love a bit of bling.  My card shows the pearl option but both look equally lovely.
