It's Tuesday and that means Inspiration time over at STAMPlorations. Today I have 2 DT pieces for you, one which I made before the move and my most recent make inspired by LIM's current theme of 'splatters'.
First up is my card featuring the Calla lily from Smile in combination with a sentiment from Trendy Feathers 2.
I simply stamped, coloured and fuzzy cut the Calla lily, spritzed some Elegant Eggplant on my base card, stamped my sentiment in Elegant Eggplant on a strip of card and layered everything up as seen adding a sequin to finish. This is sort of a 'tidy my desk' type of card: the lily was originally coloured for my card here, but was a little too pale to be used, the frame is the off-cut from my golden circle used on this card here and the sentiment was a strip I tried on another card, but didn't use.
Next up is a card I made using STAMPlorations' current Stamp Club set called Gone Postal ...
... in combination with the splatters stamp from the Mixed Media Elements set. I first stamped the splatters in Cherry Cobbler. Next using black Archival I stamped the car and with a damp brush drew some of the colour from the stamped splatters along to colour my little car. Once dry, I masked the car and stamped the postage frame and sentiment. With my mask still in place I spritzed a little Cherry Cobbler to add a few more splatters and splashes before adding the wavy postage mark and layering with a little tilt on my red base card to finish. I quite like the little tilt, it reminds me of several letters coming through the door and landing on top of each other ....

Love the desk tidy up card, the gold off cut really works with the lilies. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning creations, I am soooooo loving ur card with the Smile set :) biased u see ;)
ReplyDeleteTerrific card! Love your idea! Thanks for sharing at Less is More!
ReplyDeleteLove use of the flowers with the layout
ReplyDeleteGold. And splatters. Lovely mix.
ReplyDeleteThat lily card is beautiful! Love the gold elegance with the splatters. Nice guy card too.
ReplyDeleteI love the gentle colouring of your lilies and the masked splattered card looks great, perfect for a guy. The LIM challenge this week is One Layer but, unfortunately, you've layered onto a red base so on this occasion your card won't qualify. Thanks so much for sharing though and please do join us again.

Sorry, hadn't noticed the one-layer bit. xxx
DeleteIsn't it great when you get to use all the bits lying around on the desk! The gold panel frames the lilies beautifully, and I love the splatters on both cards (of course!).
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a little late visiting this time!
ReplyDeleteThis is super Monika, love those splatters but in line with our guidelines, the stamping should be on the base of the card and not as an added layer!
Thanks so much

Sorry, hadn't noticed the one-layer bit. Guessing I was a little too keen to show off some STAMPlorations stamps. :-)
