Day 2 of Inspired Stamp Challenge Week & Cards for Kids Update

Welcome back to an Inspired Stamp Challenge Week I am doing with my friend, Jill. After visiting here, please be sure to head to her blog.

For this day, we will both be using the Hero Arts Floating Garden stamp and will both be inspired by THIS great card by Jill...

And here is my creation. I loved her oval piece with the torn area on the bottom, so I decided to do that same look with a Tim Holtz die cut.

Supplies: Hero Arts stamps (Floating Garden, background flower); Ranger Verdigris embossing powder; Tim Holtz Die Cut; Distress Inks; A Muse pearls

Now, be sure to head to Jill's blog HERE to see her creation.

And! We have winners of the Kiss and Tell stamp giveaway - Sav O'Gwynn and Amy. Remember you can still order your own. If you mention my blog (put "Jennifer McGuire Ink" in the message-to-seller during checkout), she will give you a 10% refund within 24 hour of purchase. Order HERE. And check out these photos Karissa from Kiss and Tell sent of her products. Yum...

 
One last thing - a quick update on Cards for Kids. If you sent cards, please check the list HERE and let Jana know if you were missed. We will draw prizes soon and start the next round. Thanks!
