Today we are kicking off our new, monthly challenge at Great Impressions Stamps. We are challenging you to be green. Whether you use the color green or your project is green and incorporates recycling, or both, it is entirely up to you!
For my projects, I used the stamps Mailboxes (G465) and A Little Hello (B151). I used the color green and recycled Starbucks coffee sleeve for my “Green” for the challenge. I only wanted to use one word from the sentiment stamp so I stamped it on scrap paper and cut out “Hello” for sentiment.
The clouds in the background were created using the free template from Bev Rochester.
Don’t forget to link up your “Green” project at the Great Impressions Stamps blog for your chance to win a $20 Coupon Code to the Great Impressions Stamps online store or your chance to be a guest designer. While you are there you can see plenty of inspiration from the design team and review the challenge rules.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!
