Use It Tuesday :: Uninked Stamps

Hello paper crafters! Use It Tuesday is back with one of our favorite challenges - UNINKED STAMP! I know that you have them... So get them out and create! 

After you've patted yourself on the back and marveled at your gorgeous creation, head over to the Use It Tuesday blog to link up by Friday, August 23rd. Make sure you mention you're playing along with us and mention your hoarded supplies. As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

I just love this stamp from Penny Black, part of a clear stamp set called . I wanted it to appear as a bold statement; therefore I stamped it black ink on white cardstock. For the background, I used the foam applicator tool to add three colors of Distress Inks. Because the inks are water based, they react beautifully to a few drops of water.

I finished up the card with a Lifestyle Crafts die that has gone untouched for over a year. The leaf was cut from patterned paper, the flower base from cardstock, and the layer from vellum. An eyelet was put through the middle to hold the layers together. It was so easy to make a dimensional embellishment! I'll need to use this more often!

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see what stamps you pull from your stash! Don't forget to see the lovely creations my fellow design team members created on the Use It Tuesday blog.
