French Marigold

Hi Crafty Friends!

Another one of my favourite stamps by STAMPlorations is the French Marigold which is retired yet still available as digital stamp. You can check it out in their Digital Store here.

I combined the marigold with the Squares Flexi-Template for the background. The flower has been coloured using DIs and small make up brushes.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Explore Art

Hi All,

It's Inspiration time over at STAMPlorations. As my DT piece I want to share a card I made using the French Marigold - Large stamp combined with a sentiment I made up from Bold Sentiments: Create and Explore

I simply stamped the Marigold in black, black embossed the word 'Explore' before stamping the word 'Art' to complete my sentiment, added a few spritzed splatters and added some coloured acetate discs attached with matching brads to finish. A quick and easy card to make. The little discs are movable for added fun.

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog for more inspiration and leave a comment whilst there for your chance to win a prize.

I shall be back soon with more inspiration.

Have a lovely day!

Almost Forgotten

Hi Everybody,

It is Inspiration Time over at the STAMPlorations Blog. This is where the girls from the Inspiration DT showcase their creations and invite you to CASE. You can link your creations up with the Inspiration CASE Playground the link to which can be found at the end of each Inspiration Post. To play along you can either CASE any of the Inspiration DT's projects or the one we chose as our inspiration for the month. You also don't have to use STAMPlorations stamps to join the fun, however we would be thrilled if you did. Why not have a go??? You don't have to exactly copy, it is simply about taking inspiration from a project. We would love to hear what inspired you....

Now it's time to show you my project ...
You might have almost forgotten something I mentioned in my video Easy Brusho Backgrounds. I showed you one I had created and said that I was waiting for the large Marigold stamp to arrive as I thought it would be a perfect match. Well, what can I say ... or maybe you would like to see for yourself ... here it is the finished card ...

I simply black embossed the marigold, stamped my sentiment from the Fond Expressions 2 set and layered on a black base card.

The keen eyed of you might have noticed that the French Marigold is a larger version of the one from the The Birds and The Blooms set, which was June/July's Stamp Club Set. I simply loved it so much that I had to get the larger version too! :-)

That's it from me for today. Feel free to pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to see the gorgeous projects my teamies created.

Back soon with more projects ... until then ...

Have a lovely day!
