Hello

Well hello there!  I have a card to share today that I made to enter in two challenges, the Winnie & Walter Rerun No. 8 challenge using The Party Hangover, and the Simon Says: Ombre challenge.

This was a really fun card to make.  I LOVE finding creative ways to use my stamps and I was able to do that with Winnie & Walter's The Party Hangover stamp set here.  I started by stamping a bunch of the chain link stamp on white paper (using my Misti made this job very easy).  I stamped 5 rows using PTI Melon Berry ink, 5 rows using PTI Berry Sorbet ink, and 5 rows using Hero Arts Fresh Peach ink.  This gave me the ombre affect.  Next  I stamped the large outline flower from Winnie & Walter's Big Bloom stamp set over the ombre stamping using black ink, and fussy cut.  For the card base I used the same chain link stamp but formed it into a circle on my Misti lid.  I randomly stamped that image using Hero Arts Mint Julep ink on white card stock.  Then I used the largest open circle from Winnie & Walter's Scenery: Bigger Bank Confetti and stamped that with the Hero Arts Fresh Peach ink in the middle of the green circles.  The big "hello" sentiment was die cut from black card stock, and I placed my panel on a black card base.  The card was finished with some black sequins.

I hope my card inspires you to look at your stamps in new ways and try something fun!
