I am so happy to share my swap card for the WOW card front swap with the ladies attending the 3rd Annual Convention Stamp Camp put on by Joanne Tofte and Karen Pichura. This card uses the Game Night stamp set; the Large star punch, the Modern Label punch; Jackpot DSP;Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Whisper White and Basic Black cardstock; Melon Mambo Classic ink and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Now on to the fun stuff- the swaps with everybody. As I age, I have discovered that I bore easily, so to compensate while creating swaps, I did several small groups of different designs. This first group I decided to use up a lot of my Jackpot DSP and challenged myself to work in back and white with just a touch of color. (I like colors – so black and white is hard) Here is the first card front . I used a sketch from VC Designs Challenge blog. Interesting sketch I may play with this one again later. Recipe: Game Night stamp set; Jackpot DSP; Whisper White and Basic Black cardstock; Basic Black Classic ink , Versamark ink, gold embossing powder and snail.
#2 in my Black & White series is from another sketch from the web (source unknown). I did take the 2 squares in the middle and offset them a little both from each other and from the background — just because it felt right. This one I tried to keep crisp and clean with just the touch of color on the bird. Recipe: Peace Within stamp set; Jackpot DSP; Whisper White and Basic Black cardstock; Basic Black Classic ink , Stampin’ Write Markers, Water Brush and snail.
#3 in my Black & White series is from the same sketch as the previous one I just used a different stamp from the Peace Within Stamp set. I made the cat match my sister-in-law, Sarah’s favorite kitty. Recipe: Peace Within stamp set; Jackpot DSP; Whisper White and Basic Black cardstock; Basic Black Classic ink , Stampin’ Write Markers, Water Brush and snail.
The final card front in this series is just black and white. Living in a place where many folks visit the casinos and gamble for recreation and the dream of winning big, I found this sentiment in the Peace within stamp set especially appropriate. For me to win big at anything but love would indeed be a miracle. But then with love and family that all gets along what more do you need?!
