Christmas in September

Contemporary - Bold Colors for Christmas!

Black is always an elegant and refined color.

Yet, when used as color for a reverse stamping technique...

black simply showcases the other colors you have chosen.

The first time I saw black used on a reverse stamp was card that Kristina Werner

created for Stretch Your Stamps - On LIne Card Classes.

It jumped off the page for me!

Embellished using Twinkle Goosebumps - color gray-green!

Right now we are in week two of Kick Start - On Line Card Class.

Kristina and Jennifer McGuire challenged us to pull something

out of our stash that we have not used... for me the reverse stamp.

Heat Embossed the sentiment using Martha Stewart Ebony embossing powder.

New bright green silk cardstock and gunmetal metallic cardstock

giving the card a Holiday feeling!

Tip# 4

Always use a brayer when applying ink onto the

 cardstock from a reverse stamp.

Imagination!
