Stamping Class

We had such fun creating yesterday!! The first card uses some of the paper you can earn for free during SALE-A-BRATION. It's called Springtime Foils and  parts of it are embossed. We used a brayer and covered the entire piece with Memento ink changing the background from white to gray. So cool! The stamp set is one of the free choices during the sale too:)

The second card uses the Spotlight Technique. While the third card uses the Coffee Cafe stamp set and coordinating Thinlits.
