Kiss ‘Em Goodbye Card Buffet

Time to say goodbye to some old friends…..so we had a big send off at Card Buffet in May!  These sets are around until May 31st, so it’s not too late to give them a good home 🙂

Card Buffet is awesome, it’s probably my favorite class to prepare for!  I have 10 card samples and this event is all about you…make what you want, when you want and as many as you want!  I try to have one each quarter, so our next one will be using NEW items from our gorgeous new catalog going live on June 1st?  Did you reserve your copy?  No?  Whatcha waitin’ for?

Here is what we created:

This stamp came from Paper Pumpkin April 2016.  I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede ink.  I also used the “negative” branch from the kit and sponged with Crumb Cake ink.  Then,  I sponged the bird pieces with Marina Mist ink for a little dimension.

To achieve the “double” swirl…I only inked up about 2/3 of the stamp with Smoky Slate ink.  Where the 2 images meet will be covered by your sentiment.  

This look is very easy to achieve…simply ink up the “splash” with crushed curry ink and stamp three times in succession.  Each image will be shade lighter.
