How FUN are these?? Need for Speed!!

This stamp set is called... Need For Speed!
How FUN are these images! :) We have so many young men in our family, I just had to have this stamp set!

I used a variety of techniques on these images... burnishing, inking, marker, watercolor... and the scallop circle for the clouds. :)
The sky is inked with Bashful Blue in each piece, the 'roads' and water under the speed boats are water-colored, and each vehicle uses the Stampin' Up Markers.
I took shots of the pieces close-up so you could see more clearly. As always, just click on an image to enlarge it.

I am using these for EVERYTHING!!! A Design Team project, Cards for Soldiers, Birthday Cards, Get Well Cards, etc. The possibilities are endless!

New Catalog Stamp Camp, June 8, 2011

Here are some of the NEW In-Colors for 2011 - 2012. I featured Island Indigo, Pool Party, and Calypso Coral in my 2 cards for this event. There are two more: Wisteria Wonder, and Lucky Limeade. Also featured are NEW stamp sets, and one that will retire at the end of August.


The Just For You image is from a set called Tagtastic! The ribbon lace border is a frame technique used as a highlight.


This stamp set was the very first one I ordered from the new catalog... Delicate Doilies. It's SO pretty!!! The images look just like tatting to me. The small piece in coral coordinates with the Doily Triple Layer punch.


Here's the inside of the Doily Lace card - It uses the Lattice Die to make the pop-up piece, and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die to make the butterflies.
