Great Stamp Swap 2010

Happy Monday!

I had a fantastic weekend celebrating year one of two funny little boys...more on that later. This week is a good one on the old bloggy blog. The Hero Arts Flickr Group put out a call for crafters to pair up and create some cards using the same stamps. Sounded like a fun way to get a few new card ideas (and maybe a few new readers? hello there!), so I signed right up.

My partner in crime is Nicky Hsu. Jump over to her blog each day this week and leave her some love. Her cards are VERY creative!!

My card:


I kept this card light and simple. I stamped the background in a pale pink, then stamp a mix of the icons on a piece of kraft paper and filled them in with colored pencils. Love that look. Managed to use one of the pastel mini safety pins (one of a million) I have left over from a project last year.

Nicky's card:

Cute, right? I love the look of the white ink on kraft paper!
* A note about this stamp: I got this as a gift, but lately, I have known many more baby boys than girls. I have found I can use this for boys as well, it's got a lot of images on it. I really want to figure out how to stamp the mobile that says 'it's a girl', and mask off the girl. Any ideas?
Come back tommorow for a set of cards that are very fashionable. And maybe a few baby pics ;)
Later,
Michelle
