October Stamp Release Blog Hop Day 5

Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to the STAMPlorations October Stamp Release Blog Hop. Four sets are being released this week, Faerie Door, Power Of Words, Faith Expressions and Funny Kinda Love.

Here are my DT projects ... 

Using the Faerie Door set, I wanted to create a card with a childlike feel and used simple colouring and stamping having the faerie floating above a carpet of flowers.

With this card I was inspired by the word 'soul' from the sentiment, Power Of Words. I immediately thought of purple flame and gold. I applied some yellow ink to my craft mat, spritzed with water and mopped it up with a piece of white card. Once dry I stamped my sentiment on my background and the flame again on a piece of scrap card. I then coloured and fuzzy cut the flame, added it to my card, doodled a border and finished off with sequins, gems and glossy accents. 

Next I die-cut a rectangle using the CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies, sponged it with purple ink, stamped the swirls from the Distressed Floral Swirls set in the same shade and the flowers from the Faith Expressions set in a darker shade before adding my sentiment in an even darker shade. I then added some sparkle gel pen colouring to the flowers and glossy accents to the word 'faith' before finishing off with some sequins.

For my last card using the Funny Kinda Love set, I made a tag to go on my grey splattered base card. I die-cut a tag using the CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Dies from a lightly grey inked piece of card, dry embossed it and picked up some of the pattern with pink before stamping my sentiment. I then inked a piece of white card using the same pink, stamped the other part of my sentiment and the two hearts and fuzzy cut the lot before edging the tag and the sentiment strip with my gold leaf pen. I then added a length of gold twine, assembled my pieces and finished of with a few sparkly hearts.
