Getting Closer

This is the second to the last HYCCT post for 2012!  I still have one more card to make, but I'll post that one separately once I make it!

The HYCCT1224 challenge was to use the "kissing" stamping technique where you apply ink to a solid stamp and then before stamping it, "kiss" (stamp) the solid stamp with a stamp that was inked up in a different color.

I used Amber's fabulous November week 1 VLV sketch for my layout.

Supplies: 
Stamps:  Verve "Great Friend" and Hero Arts "Newspaper Eiffer Tower" background stamp
Ink:  SU! "Melon Mambo" and Versafine Onyx Black
Other:  Cuttlebug embossing folders, pink gem

For HYCCT1226, we were challenged to use a pink dog on our creation.

I used SC375 for my layout.

 

For HYCCT1231, the challenge was to be inspired by nature.  I pulled out one of my favorite sets, "Lovely as a Tree" and created a scene using Prismacolor pencils and cracked glass technique.
