A nice surprise and another challenge

Remember the Summer card that i've created for the Inked Classroom over at Studio Calico. I've entered my card for the first week`s challenge and guess what. I've won. Really cheered me up and made my day.

For the second week`s classroom challenge I`ve created this card using the chalkboard effect technique. Arranging the stamps i've ended with a more masculine style card without intending to do so. Means i've planned to put some hawaiian flowers on too. After consulting my hubby "What do you think about these flowers" and the answer was "No" "Maybe one flower then " "Er, No" and after a while "Maybe some ribbon" the answer was still No.
I gave up in the end, layered the stamped piece with a few dimensionals and left it as it is. I kind of like it but i must admit my girlie head still finds it a bit "naked".

Studio Calico - Inked - Day One - Stamping on patterned paper


Wow, what an amazing technique. Even though i stamped on patterned paper before, i never did it in this way.
When i saw the video, i instantly thought about a stamp set that was dusting in my drawers because i never quite knew what to do with it. So here we go, thanks a lot for the inspiration Nichol.
