This week's Heart2Heart Challenge is to use numbers on your project, so I've cased this card made by Vicki Wizniuk last week, to make up a fall birthday card:
Patterned papers are Elemental; Cardstock is Kraft, Sunset & Colonial White; Chocolate ribbon collection; Inks are Creme Brulee, Sunset & Desert Sand; Stamp set is Remarkable Wreath; - all CTMH; Spellbinders die.
I used this set for the first time tonight, and can't get the bunting stamps that hang in the center to ink up very thoroughly. Is there a trick to getting a more solid ink layer on them? My stamp isn't damp.
Hi Valerie - if this is the first time you've used this stamp, take an eraser and rub it over the surface, it often helps ink to cling better. I would also test it with a few different ink pads, incase your pad is a bit dry and needs reinker. And - do you have the foam sheet under your cardstock when you stamp? Good luck!
BEAUTIFUL Karen.....just beautiful!
