Feel Better Soon

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.  Today's card was inspired by a healing meditation I listened to the other day ...

I used Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise inks and started with the Daffodil Delight in the center for my glowing light before surrounding it with the Melon Mambo and a touch of Tempting Turquoise around the edges to blend the purple. I the trimmed my panel to size leaving on of the white border strips at the bottom.

Cherry Blossom can be a sign of Spring, new growth and beginnings ... life returning to a new cycle.
The die-cut sentiment finishes my card.

Feel Alive

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. This week my teamies and I are showcasing stamps designed by STAMPlorations owner Shery under her label 'Shery Russ Designs'.

To banish the snow and ice from the East and to look forward to Spring and the beginning of the caravan season, I decided to work with the Charmed Cherry Blossoms and Wanderlust stamp sets plus the tag from the Tag O'Coffee CUTplorations Dies to create a card capturing the joy of going on little adventures.

Here it is ...

The tag looks a bit like a window into the future. I used my stamping tool to get the stamped and masked cherry blossoms well aligned over the layers.

For the tag, I used a bit of marker watercolouring and sponging for the hills. The sentiment itself is stamped in Elegant Eggplant, an almost black purple rather than black. I waned to highlight that we feel most alive where colour is.

As mentioned earlier, this week we are showcasing stamps designed by Shery under her label 'Shery Russ Designs'. To mix it up a little, all stamps, stencils and dies - except from the Retiring category- are reduced by 10% this week in the STAMPlorations Shop, no coupon needed. Using my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA at checkout will give you an added 20% off. I would love for you to take advantage of this great offer.
