So did anyone have any guesses? Sorry to be a tease yesterday, but I had to have a little fun with this announcement. LOL! Yes, it is official, Denise and Erin asked me to join the Stamp Something Design Team! I am soooo excited and very proud to join the ranks of the other fabulous stampers on the team. I love what the site stands for and am looking forward to sharing my creations each week. I jumped right in with this week's challenge which was a sketch by Katharina of Whiff of Joy Stamps. I loved this sketch for it's nice clean lines and then the little oval off to the side. I really
wanted to play with this technique and knew my Growing in Unity tree would be the perfect setting for this fun Halloween card. I first sponged Summer Sun onto the top part of the glossy white cs (this created the yellow moon). Then I masked the moon with a punched circle and the bottom "grass" with a torn piece of computer paper. I sponged tangerine tango all over the top and kiwi along the bottom after I was done with the Tangerine (and removed the mask). I stamped the tree image with black stazon and created this spooky setting for my card. You can't see it in this picture, but the black background is embossed with the swirls embossing folder, it looks great with the swirls from the tree. I layered the sentiment with the designer label punch, 1 inch circle punch, and the large oval punch. I also roughed up the edges with my cutter kit (love the distressing tool that comes with the kit). The black ribbon is two-toned satin ribbon I won over at Limelight! Here is another card I did the other day for the Unity Wednesday Challenge on SCS-create a masculine card. I wanted to wait until I got to show you the Stamp Something Challenge card, before I posted this other one here. 
Check back every day, but especially Friday because now Friday's are officially Stamp Something Day! I'll have my challenge card posted here and the link to the blog site, or you can click the button in my sidebar. Thanks for sharing in my good news! Hugs,
