October Stamp Club: Seasonally Scattered

It's October, and the fall colors are at their peak here. The season of gratitude is almost here! Although, I think being grateful is something we should be every day.  This technique reminds me of applying ink directly to the rubber stamp with markers.  We made a take out box at convention with this tag.  I love the tag on the front of a card too!


Instructions

1.   Make sure stamp is clean!!!!
2.   Place stamp rubber side up on table
3.   Ink up “thanks” with Crushed Curry ink pad
4.   Sponge daub Cajun Craze ink on the edges of the “thanks” over top of Crushed Curry
5.   Stamp on Very Vanilla cardstock
6.   Punch with Tag Topper Punch
7.   Thread ribbon through hole, add wooden leaf, and tie
8.   Embellish with Glimmer Paper punch outs
9.   Add to front of card as shown
10. Clean Stamp
 Stamps and Supplies:
  • Seasonally Scattered Stamp set (Holiday Catalog p. 43)

I am grateful for so many things....God, my husband, family and friends...just to name a few.  Tell someone you're grateful for them!  Send a card to someone you're grateful for--do it today!!  With gratitude, Maria
