Take a Chance!

I decided to start out the new year by finding some completely different stamps to play with. The 2 stamped cards below featuring Queen Kat Designs stamp images are just that.  Normally the stamps I work with are clean images that are either singles or maybe include a small scene.  But the Queen Cat stamps just reached out and grabbed me.   Oh, my Copics and I had fun working on these so I know you will be seeing more of these stamps here :)  Plus, I decided to join one of their stamp kit clubs. Hey... I certainly deserve a little  pick-me-up surprise each month, and so do you....just saying!!

I recently discovered this store blog hopping and let me say they have a marvelous selection of stamps from some extremely talented artists. They have something for everyone from Fantasy, Whimsical, Gothic... you name it.  Go see for yourself - Queen Kat Designs.

Now, they are having a Royal Court Call, and since I'm already pretty much a princess, (or so my sister tells me- LOL) I decided to toss my crown in the ring!  Check out the details on their facebook page.  These are the three cards I just finished creating for this call.

Details:

Since most of us have cutters, scissors and adhesive I'm going to spare you those details. I think you will know when you need to use them :)

I started with Bazzill cream card stock and cut it into a folding card .   Using a Copic I outlined around the outside of the card.

Next on white Bazzill card stock I stamped the Queen Kat Designs large image with Memento Black ink. Colored it using the Copics listed above. Then I cut it out.

Next I stamped using the circle image using the Glitzy Designs stamp with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.  This was stamped on the Scenic Route paper.  I cut this image out too.

I started assembling the card  by cutting a mat out of Bazzill blue card stock that would fit under my QKD colored image.  Once cut I secured it on the card.  Then I secured my stamped circle on the card with some of  the circle overlapping the blue mat.  Next, I added my colored image, and the 2 ribbons.  The flower and brad came next.  I still needed something so I stamped again using another of the stamps from my Dec. 2011 QKD set Bliss, Dream, Relax onto a scrap paper from my stash.  Then I added the small flower sticker and the heart sticker...  and it was complete!!

Now wish me luck and cross your fingers and toes that I may receive the honor of wearing a new Queen Kat crown! : )
