This weekend, we're into the Love, Thanks and Support chapter of the Annual Catalogue
- pages 104 - 125.
I have been inspired by the gorgeous stamp set Healing Hugs, and in particular the lovely tin on page 110. Just beside the photo is a great 'teaching' panel about the Distinktive stamps featuring the fantastic technique of layering ink on the stamp with a Sponge Dauber.

My rose images were first stamped in Crushed Curry, and then I used 2 sponge daubers to create highlights - one with Pumpkin Pie, and one with Mango Melody (which is the same colours as the background cardstock). Can you see the different colours in the rose?

I love how these Distinktive stamps really give lovely tonal variation on the one stamped image, but the extra colours gives the picture an awesome new WOW!!

I made this card for someone dear who's needing a few extra Get Well thoughts! It's amazing how many times this stamp set is so useful! Add to it's usefulness the beautiful images, and this is a stamp set I'm so glad to have in my collection. I think you would love it too!!
Up next is Rachel's fantastic lemon card - love it!!
When you've done the hop, add your project to the lineup here on our facebook challenge page - it's super easy to add your photo - and remember to use pages 104-125 for your inspiration!!
Until Next Time,
Happy Stamping,
Love Julia x
