Wendy Ramlakhan's Cheeky Cherry Pie

NOTE FROM 7 KIDS: This stamp is on order (including the new February release stamps from TGF) and will be back in stock soon!

It's a new challenge at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog.  

Our challenge this week: ~ Challenge Yourself ~ (try a new technique or something you need practice on)

Well, these type of challenges always stress me out.  LOL  So I decided awhile back to jot down in my blogging/stamping notebook different techniques or projects that I'd like to try.  The first thing on the list was an Acetate card.  I have to say this was so FUN and I'd love to make more of these.  But a word of warning if you've never made one of these before....Use a heavy and sturdy acetate sheet.  I used a regular transparency sheet and it is too flimsy to hold itself up.  (By a miracle it stood up long enough for me to take photos, LOL)

Here's a side view...

I also had planned on this being a Valentine card, but this was one of those cards that just made itself so I decided to let it be.  LOL  The image is The Greeting Farm's, Cheeky Cherry Pie.  She's new to me and I couldn't wait to use her right away!!  She was ton's of fun to color.  I've placed her on the outside/front of the card along with the rub-on flourish, half pearls and sentiment.  And while the inside circle was still in the die, I sponged it with ink and then embossed it.  Another new technique...for me anyways ... and I love the way it came out.  :)  A little Shimmerz on her headband and her eyeshadow for a little fun.

I hope you'll find the time to try something new and join in our challenge!!  You will be sure to find awesome design team samples to inspire you too!
