Good Morning Inky Friends!  Today I am featuring Nicholas Firefly Frenzy, it was just released a few weeks ago.

I really like to give my card dimension.  I usually stamp my image in a color that coordinates with my card...lighter than my final image.  In this case I used Memento ink in cocoa.  I then went ahead and totally finished my card.

I ended up with this!  It could actually be finished as some people like the look of a non-colored stamp.  But I want to take it a bit further and give this boy some color!

I went ahead and stamped him in Memento Tuxedo black and colored him with my copics.  I used coordinating colors that went with the card layout colors.  I used Honey Bee scissors to cut in close to the outline of Nicolas.  I even cut off the grass and extra fireflies because you will be able to see them better on my original stamped image on the card.

I use pop-up dots and placed them directly on the original image.  I then placed my colored image being careful to line up both images perfectly.

Here is the finished card!  Hope you like it!

Lizards and flies Oh My!

Good morning Inky Friends!  I am one of the newest additions to the Inky Impressions family.  My name is Jenn Cochran.  I am from the western slope in Colorado.  And I LOVE to stamp.  I also love my Copics!  I have come to find out that my Copics are a great way to color Inky Stamps.  Although the stamps are detailed...the detail is not so small that it doesn't allow color to be seen (make sense)...sometimes I am as clear as MUD!

For more Inky Creations please visit me at Jax Bean Stalks!

Today I have a fun new friend named Nicholas.  The stamp is Nicholas' Firefly Frenzy.  All I can stay is ADORABLE!  I was able to use a few fun elements in my card that Nichole provided in my welcome package.  You will see the "Inky Dinky Drops" in CRYSTAL CLEAR in a circle next to the lizard.  I also used a Mushroom charm on my bow.  Perfect touch!

Now I have to talk about the quality of Nichol's stamps.  When you order you will receive your stamps individually packaged in mini zip lock. 

The stamp in located on the back of a HEAVY piece of cardstock that is laminated so the stamp "clings" to it.

The red rubber is monted on the "Cling" backing.  As you can see the red rubber is deep sketched so detail can easly be obtained when stamping.

I really love the THICK cling.  It give that little extra feature when stamping.  I have found that the best ink for me is the Momento-Tuxedo Black.  Perfect for Inky Stamps.

Hope all this information helps make the decision to BUY Inky Impressions.  Not only do you get quality but you get a darling one of a kind stamp...from an amazing artist!  A must have for any stamper!

See you all next time!
