OK here is my fourth challenge for Rubber Stamping - this was a suggestion that was put forward by Wendy, and I didn't have it on my list of potentials...so it was a challenge to me!

So I challenge you to make a card using a vellum or tracing paper with stamped images, you don't have to stamp on the vellum.

Enter your challenges in the gallery under rubber stamp challenges and make sure the keyword has RSC005 entered. BUT if you want to use one of the template challenges (or any other challenge) - you can add your card in that section and enter the keyword RSC005 and we will still be able to see them all on the link below.

You will be able to see all the entries HERE

If anyone has some good ideas of challenges (either for me to do or if you fancy setting a challenge then PM me)

I have prepared a couple, but as this is a bit new to me - I am still thinking of a few ideas....

-

I used chalks to colour in the golf one and a dye based ink pad to stamp, on the shoe background I used a fluid chalk pad to stamp. I did have to wait for them to dry - but they did not take long.

Would love to get some great advice on using this with stamping.

They are lovely carolyn, I will try and have a go tomorrow

I would never have thought of using chalk on vellum-too scared of it smudging!

I did it on the back, and use one of those tiny applicators that come with the chalks.

Beautiful cards Carolyn!
I think this challenge is beyond me as I've only made one rubber-stamped card in my life so far, and would't know where to start with stamping on vellum! However, I shall enjoy marvelling at how clever the rest of you are!!

Well I did say you could just use it on the card and not stamp on it, so if you are not that brave it maybe an option. And I only used tracing paper so didn't cost much to practice. Rhi pointed me in the right direction ages ago and I got 20 sheets for £1 from the works (you do need to sneakily check out the thickness - some isn;t as good as others.)
