the Great Outdoors - Mod Squad Challenge, February 17, 2016

Dear Ones~
I am hosting the Mod Squad Challenge again this week.

Share Our Badge on Your Blog!

One of the sponsors is the fabulous Kitchen Sink Stamps


https://www.kitchensinkstamps.com/ 

These stamps are amazing. Most have a multi-stamp feature that lets you get great detail in your images using several colors. There is real dimension with a 3-D effect! And one of the best features of this stamp company is that there are color recipes for most of the multi-step stamps, so you don't have to guess what colors to use. There are even alternative colors if you don't have the inks that are suggested. Maria from Kitchen Sink Stamps is a member of our Mod Squad Challenge Facebook Group so feel free to say Hi or ask any questions.

THE PRIZE
$25 GIFT CERTIFICATE to the store. 
You can pick your own goodies and there are lots of choices!

Here is a sample for you:

This card was made using the fabulous new stamp set, just released last month, called Multi Step Icy Pond. All I could think of was a secluded pond where two skaters are enjoying a crisp winter afternoon. I used a product called Crackle Accents by Ranger to give the pond some dimension. And yes, it looks like the ice is cracking. In retrospect I should have used Glossy Accents...hope those skaters have life jackets!!

Here's a closer look:

  2. Like Donna so often says THUD!!! I love how you framed this scene The partial tree behind the scene looks amazing as does the one sprig of greenery peeking out at the top. The crackle accents gave it just the look you wanted. Love that you added the blue underneath. You are doing some amazing things with these stamps.
