Making a Scene with Your Next Stamp

Your Next Stamp has a new challenge up today.  Fun Friday #100 is going on right now and the challenge is to create a scene.

Creating a scene is one of my favorite things to do on cards.   Typically I go with clean and simple, but the new Mint Cocoa Kisses paper inspired me to add some extra color among all the white hills.

YNS Monochromatic Feature Day

On the YNS Blog today you can win a stamp set of your choice!  Stop on by the YNS blog Feature Day post and leave a comment to be entered in the draw.

Our Feature Day post is full of monochromatic creations.   I went with my fave - any shade of aqua and added in some sugar with the Sweet Treat Cart set.


The round circle was sponged and then stamped and inlaid in to the rectangle mat. The treat cart was layered over it.  I kept it uncolored intentionally, trying to keep with the monochromatic theme.

Julie
