Three cards same stamp

 There are a number of photos in this post.

I got this stamp in mail yesterday so quickly made some cards before I left home 

for the night. Its Breast Cancer Awareness Month so I decided to get the

stamps from Casual Fridays and lucky for me they are very quick with their

deliveries even to Australia. I didnt think they would arrive in time but we still

have half a moth to go.

This first card I inked up the stamp with 4 different pinks to

get this look. I keep forgetting I have all these little 1" cubes of

Versa Ink and have had them for many many years and they still

work beautifully. They are a great ink for embossing as they stay 

wet for such a long time. In this instance I have clear embossed.

Look at the beautiful detail in the stamp. Love it.

I then picked out a couple of sentiments to put together.

I couldn't believe that with all three cards I stamped on

the sentiments and then managed to get black smudges

somewhere on each. This one I was able to save

by cutting from a one layer card to the rounded corners

rectangle stitched shape. I found of the three this one

warped the most from the heat embossing and nothing I did

would smooth it out. I added fun foam underneath but

still ended up ripply. Couple of faint smudges covered by

the pink enamel dots.

This next card ended up being long and narrow due to

smudges and more pink enamel dots for coverage.

This one was clear stamped then Neon Pink embossing

powder. Its from WOW and I cant tell you how long ago

I bought it and then never used it, bit too bright. But of

course this colour is back in so all those Neon embossing

powders need to come out and play. Again look at how

beautifully this has stamped and embossed.

Combination of words to make the sentiment 

'It's thats time of the year, get

'em squeezed' 

This final card nearly escaped smudging but then I discovered it

just on the edge so only a little trim down. You know I looked

everywhere to see where the smudges came from and I swear I couldn't

find anything but it happened.

This photo shows the embossing a bit better than the above one. 

This is a pale pink glitter powder, you can still see the

general idea of the stamp but not as well detailed.

It actually makes me think of that embossing powder thats

more dimensional.....frantage  but Its not its another of the

WOW but glitter embossing powder.

Each of these cards stamped and embossed beautifully because

I remembered to clean the card with my Emboss Buddy first and it

makes a huge difference. This time I just added

a few pale pink enamel dots and the sentiment 

'kick cancer's butt!'

Three very quick but pretty cards.
