Inky Impressions Design Team Call



It is almost time for another Inky Impressions Design Team call. This term has gone by so quickly and I have adored working with these fabulous ladies.
Although it is not required to use Inky Impressions stamps for your submission, it is a plus if you do. The call will be up some time next week on the Inky Impressions challenge blog but you will have 2 to 3 weeks to get your submissions in for consideration. This will give everyone, even our international stampers, a chance to place an order and use an Inky Impressions stamp for their submissions if they want to. Be sure to become a follower of the Inky Impressions challenge blog, so you do not miss anything.

Inky Impressions challenge and More!


*Scheduled Post*

Hello everyone. I hope this post finds you well. I made this card for the Inky Impressions challenge this week, "Distressed". If you have any Inky Impressions stamps we would LOVE for you to play along with us. If you do not own any Inky Impressions stamps yet, you NEED some! They are so adorable and the quality is superb! They are extra deep etched red rubber, full of detail and come pre-cut with EZ Mount. The package comes with a hang hole and laminated insert ( which is in full color) that your stamp clings to for easy storage.

My card also qualifies for the following challenges: SCS, Ways to use it (Bold & Bright), Stamp Something (at least 3 embellishments), The Pink Elephant (Favorite Color Combo.....I have many!) and Charisma Cardz (anything goes). Be sure to visit all of these wonderful challenge blogs for some real eye candy!!

Stamp used: Angelica's Daydream from Inky Impressions.

Stop by the Inky Impressions challenge blog to see what some of the other design team members created with these adorable stamps!

Have a super day everyone and thanks so much for stopping by.
