Using Fun Flock and Generational Stamping

 Hey Everybody,

Here's a card for another double challenge. The challenges were to use generational stamping on your card and the other challenge was to use a snowman.

What is generational stamping you ask?

In its most basic form, it's stamping once with full ink, stamping a second time without re-inking, then a third time, no re-inking. I feel like this technique takes me back in time because I love simple (but effective) stamping. Depending on the ink you used, you may only get a second generation or you may go further than three. You can interpret this any way you like: a background, simple stamping three times in any arrangement you like, or something in between. 

This is for two challenges. The first one is generational stamping and the second one is make a snowman.
I stamped the snowman in Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored him with Copic Markers. I added the dots with the SU eyelet placement template. I added glue with a paint brush to the hat and added the flock. I also added flock below the snowman which might be harder to see. This will go to a local nursing home for resident use.


Keywords: TLC1085 CAS876 snowman
Stamps: Penny Black-Snowman, SU-Snowman Season
Paper: white, balmy blue
Ink: balmy blue, misty moonlight, Memento tuxedo black
Accessories: Copic Markers, Night of Navy Stampin' Write Marker, peppermints, Cotton ball white Fun Flock, SU eyelet placement template
Techniques: Coloring
Have you used flock before? I remember this stuff from when I was  kid. They put it on books for little kids which gave it a soft, fuzzy feeling for an image.  You put glue on where you want the fun flock. You sprinkle the fun flock on the glue. Then press the fun flock into the glue. Pick up the paper and tap the extra flock off the image. Let the glue dry before touching the flock on your image.

Well, that's  it for today. I hope you learned something and try generational stamping and even using fun flock.
Blessings,
Sue
