Stamping Challenge

So, I've been lurking over at the Oz-somestamps blog and she does a Monday Sketch. I've been wanting to participate, but never got around to it. So today, I decided that all that would change. I put my mind to it and did her monday sketch. Problem is, my camera. After a few unsuccessful tries, I decided to try scanning it. I'm not a big fan of scanning cards when taking pictures of them seems more "real" looking, but I was desperate. Here's my card: I used the brown cardstock that TAC carries with their Rustic Chic collection. I don't know if you've ever seen a brown snowflake, but this one is actually embossed with copper embossing powder. I went for a "rich" feel to the card. I put an overhead as an overlay over the card and stamped snowflakes with white Brilliance ink in the corner. I inked the edges of the card with Burnt Umber and White Brilliance. I like how it came out. I believe I'll try the challenge again sometime.

PS. A little addition to this post. My DD (age 12 3/4) came up to me and asked who made the card that's laying on the ironing board(Yes, most of my stamp work ends up hanging out on the ironing board--it's one of the safest places in the house. Why, you say? Well, we're not opening that can of worms regarding the 4 homeschooled kids, remodeling still going on, and missing walls, etc.). So, back to my story. My DD asks who made the card on the ironing board. I looked at her and said I did. She gave me a look like "you've got to be kidding". She liked the card. So I guess it's a keeper. She's been my help/critic since I started stamping. If I get the thumbs up from her, I go with it. It's especially special because she reaches her teenage years next month. Just thought I would share.
