Stampin' with Alli

As I mentioned, I stopped off to visit and stamp with my friend Alli Miles on Sunday. If you don't know, Alli is a super talented and inspiring illustrator for Papertrey Ink and she just released a new stamp set called Take Three: Summer. Lucky me, I got to play with her new stamps. This is what I came up with. Be sure to stop by Alli's blog to see the beautiful creation she made with some A Muse stamps.

ETA - I just read Alli's blog post where she talks more about how we met, our stamping afternoon and the feeling of a natural friendship. I have to say, I totally agree and am sending big hugs back you Alli.



I absolutely love this funky flower and the chubby bird... how adorable is that? Needless to say I had a lot of fun. As you can see, I was sticking to the same colour combo. It came together because I had just bought the pink and yellow inks (details below) from Crafty Capers and was eager to use them. They are chalk inks and work really great on clear stamps that have a lot of solid surface area.

Thanks to Alli for a fun day and thanks to you for stopping by. If you have a chance, play along with my challenge from Monday. I'm really looking forward to this upcoming long weekend with my hubby.

Have a great weekend.
Glenda

  4. It was so much fun stamping with you Glenda! I always love your take on cards and your colour combos. The combo you came up with was more daring than I would put together but I LOVE it!!! I'll have to challenge myself to use them together now. Looking forward to our next get together.
