Sanded Background Stamp

I have a new favourite stamp – Sanded (p109 IB&C).  It is what I used as the sanded background on this card.  Just look at the size of the stamp sitting under the card – it is bigger than the card!  I am excited as I have never owned a stamp this BIG!

The stamp arrived in the post this week and I couldn’t wait to use it but where to start.  So I checked out the Just Add Ink Challenge for this week.  It was a colour challenge to use Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip and Barely Banana so this is what I come up with.  See the challenge details at: http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2010/04/just-add-ink-13.html

The Lion is from the Wild About You stamp set (p60 IB&C).  You can’t tell from the picture but the Lion’s head has been raised by stamping the image a second time and cutting it out with paper snips.  Then pop it up by using a dimensional.
