Tangible Texture




This week at Stampendous® is all about our new Texture Cubes.  I am in love with the Quest Texture Cube I used for my card today!  It's like having all the fun mixed media tools in one cubed stamp!  It makes creating a card with what appears to be tangible texture a breeze.   It's like you can feel the splatters and the ridges and all the little dots!  So very cool!!



Here's what I used to create this card:

Blossom Vase & Mixed Mesh


The January 2018 Stampendous Catalog has been released and debuts our new line of 6" x 6" cling rubber stamp line.  For my card today, I've used the awesome Cling Mixed Mesh Rubber Stamp.  It's my personal favorite as it has so many of the fun elements usually created by applying several different layers of techniques.  You get your script writing, bubble wrap, book print and stencil look all in one stamp!  Just add ink, paint, or whatever medium you prefer!  This card also uses Blossom Vase.  I loved the circles on the vase and it was a great way to showcase the circles from the background stamp that ties the two together.  It turned out to be a super bright and happy card that made me smile!
