Ginger Gem!

The card I entered in the Gingersnap Creations 

Crimper Challenge 

using the

  Viva Las Vegastamps! Hourglass 

was one of the GINGER GEMS HERE!

Ginger Snap Creations Challenge and Viva Las VegaStamps

Viva Las VegaStamps! is sponsoring this month's Challenges for Gingersnap Creations... 

New Challenge is CRIMP!!!

Everyone pullout your CRIMPER, you know the one that has been collecting dust!!!!  

Tear pattern paper, ink edges, stamp VLVS Hourglass image, add Lemon Ice Stickles to the stars then set aside.   

Stamp the VLVS Hourglass image on a piece of pink paper layer it on a thin piece of chipboard and cut out.  Color the VLVS Hourglass stand with COPICS to give the image dimension, add Brown Sickles for sand.  Randomly cut pieces of the pink paper to stamp the word “time” with black ink and ink the edges of each piece with brown ink. Crimp the craft paper with a crimper and lightly ink edges with brown ink.  When the Stickles is dry assemble the card: Layer the crimped paper on the card base, the torn pattern paper with image and “time” using VLVS Miracle Tape.  Add the pink VLVS Hourglass using foam tape to pop it.
