Never Give Up!

This is it.  My final post for this term.   This is Julie with you today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I have so enjoyed the ride!

For my last post, I decided to share one of the cards I used when I applied for the team.  It uses 2 Great Impressions Stamps that I purchased long ago.  They still bring me great inspiration, and they are still 2 of my all-time favorite stamps from ANY stamp company. 

This card features 2 Great Impressions rubber stamps.  They are:  E795 - Tricycle and  A145 - Never Give Up.

I colored E795 - Tricycle with watercolor paints and a very tiny paint brush. 

This Tricycle and Never Give Up sentiment inspired me to try out for this design team.  I am so glad I did!  It has been one of the more outstanding creative experiences I have had!  Thanks to Deonne, Mynn, and the whole design team for a wonderful term.

You still have a few days to enter this month's Anything Goes Challenge.  If you haven't yet, what are you waiting for?  And, don't forget to shop in the Great Impressions Stamps store.  You'll find many wonderful stamps that will inspire you. 

Bamboo Wishes

Hi, friends!  It's time for another post using stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  Today I have a card with a CAS feel and a powerful message.  Just a few small accents and a bright color scheme found here!  Take a look!

Here's my card~

This card is also on my personal blog HERE!

Products used: G361 Solid Bamboo, A145 Never Give Up

Did you notice the "shading" on the bamboo?  I used two colors of green ink to create this fun effect!  This card is actually a motivational speech for myself.  We all need this reminder--NEVER GIVE UP.  It's very easy to do and so anytime we can remind ourselves and those around us to keep going, we should.

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at this card!  Hop over to the Great Impressions blog for more inspiration and come play along with our monthly challenge, too!  If you use stamps from Great Impressions, you'll be able to link up your creation in our Customer Gallery, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

INSPIRATION SATURDAY WITH ELLEN

Hello sweet Great Impressions friends!  This is Ellen from In a World of Craft with a bit of inspiration from the Great Impressions store. Today is the second Saturday in May so you have plenty of time to join in with our current challenge.  Here is a little inspiration to get you going!

(A2: Stamps: Great Impressions Stamps (Never Give Up – A145 and Little Girl in Springtime - F466); DP: MME (Memorable); Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon)

I  love this sweet little girl image and had so much fun coloring her with my Copics. This is another card that will go to Operation Write Home, so I could see a soldier sending this home to a little girl. What do you think? The butterfly is a little plastic embellishment from my old stash. I don’t remember where it came from. 

Thanks so much for stopping by for a bit of inspiration from Great Impressions. Be sure to check out the current monthly challenge and don’t forget to link your GI creations at our CUSTOMER GALLERY!

One last thing, be sure to “Like” Great Impressions on FACEBOOK and I’ll see you again next Saturday!

Hugs!
