a*muse*a*palooza stamp extravaganza is coming to stores around the country this summer--sadly not to new orleans. but, at least there will be fun blog activities along the way! i really like a*muse stamps, but so far only have a few. this card is for the a*muse*a*palooza countdown challenge 1--black ink only. i still had the same stamps and scraps on my desk from working on cards for the a*muse mother's day inspiration contest (check it out & vote for your fave!), so i used them as my starting point. and since coloring in with markers was okay, i chose to stick with pink & black for this card. oddly enough, two of my three submissions were stamped in black only too! the saying is from a pink plastic wrist bracelet that i have in my studio--i like pink, so it makes me smile! i stamped it with two sizes of karen foster snap stamps--mini & small casual. it's been dark and rainy all day, so it's hard to see some of the details: a*muse micro dot twinkle stickers under the boutique sign and dotting the i; sakura stardust glitter pen on the sign, dress and hat; sakura clear glaze pen on the awning; white signo pen in the flourish designs; and piercing along the top and bottom edges. i look forward to seeing the other players' cards!
enjoy!
