Have you entered the Craft Stamper challenge yet? .......

Good morning ... and Happy Friday!

The weekend is here .... again!  This week has simply flown by ....... could be something to do with all the birthday celebrations I suppose.

Time to calm down a bit now ..... I've a busy weekend coming up.
Let's get the weekend started with a little reminder about this months Craft Stamper challenge ..... have you got your entry in yet?  Not to worry if  you haven't, there's still lots of time to play along.

The theme as always is Anything Goes ..... as long as there's some actual rubber stamping on your project somewhere.
And don't forget you can have up to three different entries ..... each one must have it's own blog post and remember .... only one project per post.

I've been busy having fun with some new stamps this week ..... and here's a sneaky look at one of them
It's a brand new set called Dandelion Wishes from Happy Little Stampers made up of two gorgeous dandelion head stamps, and lots of lovely sentiments

I found a really pretty piece of cardstock in my stash that I'd used as a clean up piece for some gold and silver Delicata metallic inks that were left on my craft mat. 
I'd used the inks on another project and there was a little too much left on the craft mat to simply wipe away with a cloth so ....... I took a couple of pieces piece of plain white card and smooshed them through the inks.  I love how they turned out ..... I left them to air dry overnight so that all the gorgeous shimmer from the mica would settle on the top ......

Not sure if it comes across well enough in the photos but trust me it looks fab ....

I stamped the dandelion heads over the top using first and second generation stamping

and then finished off by stamping over the top of these using Versamark and heat embossed the image in gold ......

I added one of the sentiments, stamped in the gold Delicata ink and attached to the front of the card using foam pads

Inside I used the stamp again, first and second generation stamps as before .....

And I added another of the sentiments from the set .....

Watch this space over the weekend for more of the brand new release from Happy Little Stampers.
