Love to Scrap! Rubber Stamped Cards

The Challenge

Today is the start of Love to Scrap's Challenge #7: Rockin' Rubbah! The point is to use rubber stamps on any type of project. I made two cards using some Sweet Stamp Shop stamps. 

Card #1: Nerds in Love

I combined two set of stamps, a bookworm set with a chemistry set, since I thought they matched so well together. I stamped, colored and cut out two bookworms. The female one had little heart shapes at the end of her antenna. 

I replicated that shape on the card by using some May Arts wired cording. The cording will retain the shape created, so I twisted the ends into little hearts. 

I stamped some of the splatter images in different colors and circle punched them. For some dimension, I popped a few of them up with foam adhesive. I combined the stamps with Jillibean Soup's Atomic Soup collection, a must have for nerd lovers.

Card #2: Monochromatic 

I wanted to try my hand at the monochromatic look and this is my first attempt. My natural inclination is  to scrap something bright and colorful. I chose brown as my color and went looking around for things in this color family from my stash.

I stamped my sentiment onto a piece of cork which gave a very clear impression. The cork wasn't specifically a scrapbooking supply, but just a plain sheet of cork used on disposable coffee cups.  I picked up a free book from a yard sale for the purpose of scrapbooking. I tore out a page and stamped some apple wedges on the book page and paper pieced it with my apple. The teacher in me was cringing at destroying a book, but it would have otherwise been thrown out. I added some seeds with a copper Pearl Pen.
