Virgin Stamps - CCEE1823

Joanne Grzelak has taken the reins as hostess for the CCEE Stampers for the month of June. She said, "I don’t think  I am the only one with unused, or ‘virgin’, stamps.  This week I want you to go through your stash and ink those virgins to create this week’s card."

Well, as luck would have it, yesterday Kitchen Sink Stamps released three new stamp sets and my virgin dogwoods are seeing ink for the very first time for CCEE Challenge 1823. 

This set is called Enchanted Dogwood Multi Step Clear Stamps and I have included the color recipes for the layering I did to create this sprig of spring dogwoods below the card.





Color Recipe for the Dogwoods

Layer 3 SU Flirty Flamingo with  Memento Pear Tart in the center
Layer 4 PTI Hibiscus Burst with Memento Pear Tart in the center
Layer 2 PTI Sweet Blush
Layer 1 Memento Angel Pink
Layer 5 SU Lucky Limeade


Color Recipe for the Stems

Layer 1 PTI Classic Kraft
Layer 2 SU Baked Brown Sugar
Layer 3 PTI Dark Chocolate


Color Recipe for the Leaves

Layer 1 Memento Bamboo Leaves
Layer 2 Memento Bamboo Leaves
Layer 3 Memento Olive Grove

The sentiment is from virgin stamps as well: Words 4 Celebrating Clear Stamps.
It is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

If you have stamps that haven't seen any ink yet, 
pull them out and join the CCEE Stampers in this fun challenge

Look at the great stamps which have been hiding in the drawers and closets
of the CCEE Stampers' Design Team but have NOW been inked!
