Stretch your Stamps

The challenge for you at A Blog Named Hero is to "Stretch Your Stamps".

For inspiration for this challenge I turned to the Online Card Classes Stretch Yous stamps lessons.  A lesson in which Jennifer McGuire used a background stamp gave me the idea for these cards.  For these cards I used the Jellyfish Party Background stamp.  I stamped the image with Hero Arts Embossing ink on dark card stock.  Next I brushed on three different shades of Pearl Ex powder.  I die cut a circle from this and used it for the focal point on my second card.

I stamped the Pearl Strings Bold Print Background stamp on light blue card stock.  I used the Happy Stamp and Cut set for the sentiment.

On my second card I brushed Pool Hero Arts Reactive Ink through the Crossing Waves Stencil.  Next I misted some Shimmer Spritz on the background.

I would enjoy seeing how you stretch your stamps please share your work at our latest challenge.
