A Forced Card

I'm still in my creative funk, but made myself stamp something tonight.  Susan's OLW7 challenge this week was really a test for me.  I almost never use all those little stamps that come in sets.  I'm all about the main image and coloring, so it was really a challenge for me to use an accessory stamp as my focal point.  The challenge was repetition, and although I could have stamped a main flower image repeatedly (tried it and it didn't work), I went for the little stamp.

Even though this was forced, I like the way it turned out.  I used the CM curvy cutter thingy as a template and drew a light pencil line where I wanted the images to go.  Then I curved the sentiment on my stamping block to match.  I added a little Sakura gelly roll pen for a little sparkle.

Supplies used:
Stamps - hello again, Inkadinkado sentiment
Paper - GKD PL white
Ink - regal rose, Pacific point, summer sun, wasabi, Memento black
Accessories - Sakura gelly roll pen (clear star), CM curvy cutter thingy

Can you believe I didn't use my SAMJ?  I can't remember the last time I didn't use it!

This was truly a challenge for me, and now I must go to bed before my head explodes from thinking too much!
