Multi-Color GigaGuidlines

I was inspired by this week's Make it Monday and Nerina's challenge and beautiful card here to stamp for the first time in quite a while. (Also, my power went and my computer battery died, so I couldn't do any work!) I started with this fabric in mind, although I ended up somewhere else entirely.


I love this week's technique.  I didn't have craft foam, but I did have some flat round cotton pads in my craft desk.  Here is the background paper I made.  (If you use cotton, stamp on a craft mat or a lot of scrap. The color soaked right through.)  I was able to stamp the whole sheet with 1 inking!






Here is the card I made.

This is beautiful-I love that image in multi-color! I like the idea of using a cotton pad- I have more of those to spare. ;)

So nice to see you creating again! This is sooo much fun! I love the way you've used Betsy's inking technique for the Giga stamp set - woohoo - it looks fabulous! It sounds like the technique works pretty well on cotton - maybe the ink doesn't soak in as much? Thanks for playing along with my challenge too!
