It's week three of my challenge to get you using all those pretty toys you just had to buy! The master Cardtober thread, along with info on how to find scoring details if you're playing for points can be found here.
For this challenge, simply make a card with a stamp set that has not yet seen ink. The stamps can be out of the original package, but the entire set should be unused. You can use one stamp from the set, or all-- whatever makes sense.
For the twist: use up some scraps OR the negative space from some die cuts.
For my cards last week I made stained glass looking backgrounds using a cover plate die and glitter paper. If you look carefully, you'll see that the glitter paper's outlined with my cream cardstock. I did that because I wanted to really offset the triangles rather than have them blend into each other.
Because the die cuts out the triangles AND the frame, that meant I had four glitter frames left over. They were too pretty to toss, and so I set them aside before finally coming up with an idea how to use them. It also helped me break in a Papertrey Ink set I really wanted and bought but hadn't yet used. I just mounted them over a similar color cardstock and added the sentiments.
