Welcome to Get Inky! Stamps "Repeat" Blog Hop!

Welcome to the first ever Get Inky! Stamps Blog Hop! Our theme for this hop is REPEAT, in celebration of National Repeat Day, which is this Monday, June 3rd! It is a day to repeat anything...such as eating the same thing for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner! Or, for repeating things you've said...are you ready for some blog candy blog candy blog candy? Yes? Well...great, we have some! Among the prizes, one lucky person will be winning a 3 set sample of our BRAND NEW, NOT YET RELEASED STAMPS!!! How fun is that!?!

The first stop on the hop is Thia from Blue Moon Creation, so be sure to start there! We are THRILLED you could hop along with us! Have fun!

Since this is a National Repeat Day Hop, I made two projects, both with a common theme.

I used the Get Inky Stamps Buzzing Bees set on both these cards.

 

 

My husband thinks the bee looks like he's coming out of the clouds.  One of my favorite techniques for making a stamp look like it has movement is to this technique -- stamping repeatedly.  Since it's a repeat hop, I had to use this technique.  I used alcohol inks and an air can to create the background on glossy cardstock.

 

This second card also uses the same stamp set, alcohol inks, and stamping technique:

 

 

Again, with repeated stamping, the bee looks like it's flying across the page.  I blotted different alcohol inks on this background.  They were softer colors and the blotting made for a different effect.  The chipboard is from my friend DeeDee.  You can find it here at UmWow Studio.  You want this stuff!  It is so much fun! I also used another of my favorite products, Trendy Twine.
