Here I am with a post for the week’s Make It Monday #219: Texture Kissing. Lizzie showed a super fun way to use the “Kissing Technique” to add texture to our stamped images. I’m going to have fun with this technique!
I used berry colors, SU’s Blushing Bribe, Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Elegant Eggplant. I’m going to play this first card over at Less is More’s Week 235 Colour Challenge:Berry Shades.
My cards were also inspired by this week’s One-Layer Simplicity Challenge #19: Strip Down. First I masked off my card fronts (1 Classic Crest Cover Solar White 110 & 1 Pink Pirouette) and then I sponged on some SU Pink Pirouette ink.
Then I used PTI’s Bloomers, Flower Favorites and Good Times stamp sets.I’m going to share this over at HLS’ August CAS Challenge: Masking. Make sure you go on over and check out all off the DT’s super creations and play along!!
I made 2 one-layer cards with berry colors. I was going for a Zinnia-like look in honor of my niece who is due to be born any day now! I can’t wait to see photos of the newest little flower in my family!
This is simply terrific for the challenges at LIM and HLS!
Love it!
Thanks so much

Nice colors, and I like the way your flowers overlap. I love zinnias; unfortunately, so do the Japanese beetles!

Thanks, Sandy! I can’t stand those Japanese beetles! We had chickens at our last house and they would catch them right out of the air. It was fun to watch!
