SAM June Challenge

Wow!! It's Stamp-A-Memory Challenge time again! This month's challenge was such fun to do. We had to create a layout using buttons as the main embellishment. This is my take on the challenge:

 

I decided to go with using buttons as the centres on my flowers and I really like how it has turned out! First I coloured my Paper Daisies with reinkers, then used buttons from the both the Regals  Designer pack and  the Designer Big Buttons (in the Autumn-Winter mini) as the centres of the flowers.

I really love that flourish stamp from the Baroque Motifs stamp set - you can get such great effects on a layout with it. Here I've stamped it onto blue DSP with versamark ink before heat embossing with clear embossing powder. Once that was done, I sponged over it using Marina Mist ink. The embossing resists the ink, leaving the colour underneath to show through. I've also stamped the flourish twice again and heat embossed with black embossing powder to give the effect of rub-ons on the page.

For more fabulous layouts based on this challenge, head on over to Stamp-A-Memory  and see what the rest of the team have created. You are sure to get some fabulous inspiration! And while you are there, why not enter the challenge for yourself - we would love to see what you create.

Learn From Yesterday

Here is another card created using the 'Sense Of Time' stamp set:

I've CASE'd the layout for this card from one I saw on SCS and changed it up to suit the look I wanted. Cardstock colours I have used are Crumb Cake, Elegant Eggplant and Confetti White. I have stamped the images from the stampset onto a piece of neutrals DSP with Elegant Eggplant ink, before sponging the edges with Crumb Cake ink.

The sentiment from the same stamp set has then been stamped onto a piece of Confetti White with Basic Black ink, then one of the images has been stamped around the edge with Crumb Cake ink. The piece was then inked with Crumb Cake ink, then layered on to a slightly larger piece of Confetti White Cardstock, before layering onto Crumb Cake and then onto an Elegant Eggplant  scallop square cut with the scallop square die.

The flower is from the Paper Daisies pack and the button is from the Regals Designer Pack. The lace ribbon is from the Vintage Lace that was in the Summer Mini.
