STAMPlorations Inspiration

 

How is your February going so far? As today is Tuesday, it's time for another STAMPlorations Inspiration post - a chance for me and the other ladies of the STAMPlorations design team to show what we have been making lately with our STAMPlorations crafty stash. As always, don't forget that by commenting on the post you are entering in a monthly draw for a $15 prize code for the STAMPlorations Store.

Today I decided to play with stencils. I was inspired by Sanna's super fun Abstract Prehistoric Life Stencil. I can really see the shapes of this stencil as little amoebas or some other fun creatures. One of them looks to me like an abstract octopus so that's what I created today. I started by inking blue distress ink through the All Swirls Slimline Stencil to create a sea background, and then I inked purple Distress Oxide through the Abstract Prehistoric Life Stencil. Last, I added some seaweed using green Distress Oxide and the Flair Slimline Stencil. I die cut a two-layer sentiment in matching colours using Skinny Sentiments Dies and used a white gel pen to add some details to my little octopus-like creature. I attached the card on a purple card base.
