Spectrum Pads - Challenge

I am a little late in posting, but I had Stamp-a-Stack Thursday evening and Friday morning, and then went out of town right after. I am back and ready to post!

This week in our Bloggers Challenge we were to use Spectrum Pads. I have to admit I don't use them very often. But I had an idea in my head from last years catalog, or maybe even the year prior. The inkpad was pressed directly onto cardstock to achieve a "block background".


Here is what I came up with:


















I sort of copied myself with this card layout. See next post about my September Stamp-a-Stack... You'll see ;-) I just love this stamp set!

    Very pretty Claudia! How simple to just smoosh the spectrum pad onto the background, and yet it looks gorgeous!!
