No Time To Stamp?

When I saw the Inspiration Challengetoday over at SCS, I just knew I had to play, time or not!!! The inspiration was from MacKenzie Childs — how fun!!! I LOVE the fun, funky and whimsical look of all things MC!!! For my inspiration for this card I used the first item pictured, which is the chair. Here’s my card:

This is the same bathtub image I used on my last post, but it was out and I thought it was just PERFECT for a MacKenzie Childs piece. This adorable bathtub image is Chill Out, by Annie LaPointe, an MFT stamp, that I got from Stampers Dream. Fun stamp!!! It is colored with Copics. My striped background was made by cutting and adhering 1/2″ strips of black paper onto yellow. The black scallop is made using my Long Rectangle Nestabilities by Spellbinders (just cut a scallop rectangle, then cut off the 1″ or so you need — easiest scalloped border EVER). The corners are Cuttlebug dies. Fun card and a fun challenge!!!

Heres myproject for todays challenge:

The new item I used on this card is this adorable bathtub image, Chill Out, by Annie LaPointe, an MFT stamp, that I got from Stampers Dream (remember, I told you I got quite a few new stamps to share!!!) I just LOVE these adorable bathtub images!!! This is just a quick little card with the image being popped up for effect, and it’s popped up quite a bit with some thicker dimensional products. Not so good for mailing, but I do love the effect. It makes the little image appear more like a piece of art hanging on a wall!!!

Stamps: Chill Out by MFT from Stampers Dream
