CK Convention Sample Number 1

Here's a really cute Make and Take card (it was free!) that we did at the Ink About It booth at CK Manchester. The card uses A Muse rubber stamps. Unfortunately I can't find the stamps at the store's website. If you're in our area, Rubber Chicken and Photo Scraps are listed as retail locations on the A Muse home site. Visit the gallery at A Muse for some really cute samples. To make this card we used 3 really cool products that were new to me. The first was coloring with the Copic markers. Very cool. A bit pricey, but cool. The second was this great "Quick Stik" by Quick Kutz. It picks up those tiny, sticky bling-jewels to put them exactly where you want them. (Yes, I bought one...I love cool tools!) The third product we used was the Gelly Roll Glaze pen in clear (by Sakura). It makes the glass look like a glass. Kind of similar to SU's Crystal Effects (see p. 187 in the big catalog at this link), but it's in a pen. (Yes, I bought that one, too!) The products are linked to places on the web for more info. Later today, I'll post a re-creation of this card using SU products and my new Nestabilities scalloped ovals. Here's the recipe for this one. Enjoy.

Stamps: Glass and Happy Summer from A Muse
Ink: Color Box Chalk ink in Black, Copic markers (an orange one and a yellow one, I don't recall the numbers)
Paper: White, Orange Glitter Paper and Polkadots from a source unidentified by the Make and Take Helper. (apologies to the companies)
Accessories: Scalloped Oval punch by Marvy ( I think it was the pink one), Creative Candy from A Muse in teal (yes, I bought some of these, too) and an unidentified stitched ribbon in orange.
