Stretch Your Stamps 2

Hi everyone ~
Just a quick post to share a card and a few tags I created for homework from the Stretch Your Stamps 2 class. 

On Day 10, Jean Manis was one of our instructors, and she shared a video tutorial with us creating an underwater scene using the same Paper Smooches stamp set.

 
I finally used my Cameo, and die cut the fish with some old bright papers I had in my stash. I added Glossy Accents to give them a little shine and a sentiment from another set.

On Day 6, three instructors created tags using the same Clearly Besotted Stamp set. My first 2 tags are a CASE of Laura Bassen's tags ~

 
 ________________________________

Copic Colors: YR02, RV17, RV25, R14,YG07, YG09, G05


I used my favorite tag die from Lil' Inker Designs for all of my tags...they're larger than an average sized tag, and there is a stitched border all around.

Donna Mikasa provided a step-by-step photo tutorial for a tag using Distress Inks. Honestly, if anyone were to be named the 'Distress Ink Queen' of the paper crafting world, it would be Donna! And, she really raised the bar when she shared how to do the technique on this card:

 Distress Inks: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade

For some reason the water spots are not showing well on the yellow portion of the card on screen, but are evident IRL.

My last tag is a CASE of a card created by Debby Hughes. I chose not to add it to a card so I can attach it to the little goodies I send off to my granddaughter in Florida. Here is my tag:

Copic Markers: R20, R30, YG07, G14 

The flower on this tag was embossed with white EP on Birch Wood Veneer and colored with Copics. I used PTI Berry Sorbet for the sentiment tag, however it's showing on screen in red...can't win!

Anyway, Stretch Your Stamps 2 was a LOT of fun, and I'm sure I'll be going back to view the archives for ideas very often in the future!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please check back on Wednesday, if you have a chance for an exciting post ~
