STAMPlorations Inspiration


Happy Tuesday! How are you? I am already thinking of spring, although we still have some more grey, cold and dark days ahead. But it's comforting to know we are already going towards lighter days ahead, and I keep imagining it's already lighter in the mornings and evenings. I know there isn't really a big difference yet, but it does change a little bit every day. That's why I was inspired by flowers and spring colours today for this week's STAMPlorations Inspiration post. 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.

My card today is a emboss resist card - I started by stamping the beautiful florals from Bloom Doodles and heat embossed in white. I then used Distress Oxides to watercolour the card to bring out the florals, letting the colours bleed outside the embossed flowers. Last, I die cut the panel using Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies and added a sentiment in black using Hugs Word die.

Stamps: STAMPlorations  Bloom Doodles
Ink and colouring: Tsukineko Versamark, Tim Holtz Distress Oxides

STAMPlorations Inspiration


It's Tuesday and that means it's time for a new STAMPlorations Inspiration Post. Every Tuesday the STAMPlorations Inspiration team get to showcase our latest creations with our favourite STAMPloratons products. Over the years I have amassed quite a bit of these, and although I love them all, I have to admit some of them have become things I reach for over and over again. The Succulently stamp set is definitely one of my favourites, as I love house plants and succulents and cacti in particular (as they have a much better chance of surviving in my care than some of their more high maintenance cousins).

I started by stamping all of the sentiments from Succulently on kraft card in a matching ink for a subtle background. Then I stamped a few of the plants, coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them to create the focal image. Last, I die cut the sentiment using another workhorse of my crafty stash, the Hugs word die in brown card and added a few accents with my gel pen. 

Don't forget to leave a comment on the  Inspiration Post and the designer's blogs for a chance to win prizes every month!
