It's inspiration time over at STAMPlorations. I made another collage card which mainly uses stamping for the effect, her it is ...
Only using Elegant Eggplant ink for my card, I started off stamping the script from the Mixed Media Elements using 2nd generation stamping. Next I picked up the Hope Blooms set (due to be released later this month), chose a couple of sentiments and added them, one in 1st generation and the other ones in second generation stamping. I then stamped and fuzzy cut the flowers and from the Artful Flutters set one gold embossed butterfly on vellum. I die cut my flourish, blended the edges with my ink and placed my elements on my card. That's when I thought it needed a little extra which was easily done using the stamps and double circle stamps from the Mixed Media Elements and 2nd generation stamping and adding a matching pearl to finish.

Wowee! continuing in the vein of your gorgeous purple creation from yesterday! Love the addition of the delicate little butterfly. Thank you for being such a strong supporter of The Hop to Stop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card...I just saw a previous 2nd generation stamping with one color, and it's such a great idea, your background stamping and additional of a butterfly is really pretty. I like the printing of words as a background.
ReplyDeleteGosh...I am feeling so inspired and I can't even spend time in my craft room....gorgeous..

I love the look of all the different generations of stamping! Adds so much interest even though it's all the same color. Lovely!!
