We have 2 new additions to our house - two of my grandkids! First let me tell you that the baby of my family is 26 years old and he left home 8 years ago. My husband and I each have 5 kids for a total of 10 kids. We have more grandkids that I can count on 2 hands and 2 feet, but we have enjoyed being Grandma and Grandpa. Now two of our little ones, ages 7 and 10, have joined our household and we are now getting back into the swing of school, homework, and soccer. So, Teacher Appreciation week is much appreciated.
I decided to make a cute little canister that I can fill with pencils and pens for the two teachers in our lives. I stamped directly on our Kraft Canister with our black pigment ink. I was so surprised about how easy that was to do.
I bet you don't recognize the black paper with the red dots. It is our Dream Pop red embossed cardstock. Because it is embossed, I took my black pigment ink pad and rubbed it onto the paper. Then I took a paper towel and cleaned off the dots.
Here is my canister:
I used 3 different Close to My Heart stamp sets: School Rocks (B1396), School is Here (B1407), and Casual Expressions (D1525).

Super clever idea, Melinda! I have been wanting to experiment with that, but didn't think to use the pigment ink. Can't wait to give it a try because the contrast is fabulous! :)
