Day 3 Clean & Simple

Ok, let me first start out by saying that PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT and apparently I need to practice more! lol, Today's lesson was Offset stamping using a Gradient technique. Jennifer made it look so stinking easy but let me tell you its not!!!!! I think I "captured" the essence of what she was trying to share with us today. BTW, the bow die that she uses from My Favorite Things is awesome, My bow........NOT SO MUCH!!!!!

Here is an example of what should be Gradient stamping

We all know how much I LOVE KRISTINA!!! Well if you didn't now you know. I love her technique and her style of instruction. One would say I'm a fairly intelligent individual however I felt all shades of illiterate when trying to stamp this card. As simple as it looks it took me 3 takes! The more I stamped the worse it got, So I just STOPPED! lol and this is what I was left with.

An example of Offset stamping at its worst! hahaha
