Adding A hint Of Colour

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.  For today's card, I simply added a hint of colour ...

I've playing around with using the eye shadow applicator bushes again. this time I tried colouring a stamped image. I stamped the image in Bermuda Bay and used the brushes to add a touch of Melon mambo and Daffodil Delight to the lilies and a bit of Bermuda Bay to the leaves and some for grounding the stamped image. The colours are a bit stronger in real life than they are in the photo.

An even quicker way to add colour is by layering on a bold base card instead of colouring the image itself.

If you feel like bagging yourself a bargain and take advantage of STAMPlorations' Winter Sale, check out the graphic at the end of this post.

That's it from me for today. Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out my teamies' beautiful makes and to join the fun of their 12 Days Of Christmas celebrations.

Hello Crafty Friends!

The TAGplorations Challenges is saying HELLO November with the start of a new challenge. TAGplorations is a monthly challenge for projects featuring a tag or tags, each challenge follows a theme with an optional twist.

The theme for November is: All About Thanksgiving

The optional twist is: to use Polkadots

For my DT project, I picked up mainly on the yellow and orange of the pumpkins making sure that I was adding some dots somewhere along the lines whilst contemplating what or who I was thankful for ...

This one was pretty straight forward, die-cut tag sprinkled with brusho and spritzed with water.

Add a bit of dotty stamping and a torn piece of dotty paper, do a bit of blending with copper ink, stamp and emboss sentiment add doodles and finish off with watercoloured and fuzzy cut Calla Lilies, sequins and paper ribbon.

If you love tags, why not give it a go and play along? Your project can be anything as long as it features a tag. You can enter as many projects as you want, but one per blog post please, and you don't have to use STAMPlorations products, yet we'd be thrilled if you would. There are three free autumnal images perfect for a traditional Thanksgiving card to download here. Please check out the full revised challenge guidelines here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

One lucky winner, voted for by the DT, will win a $15 STAMPlorations gift certificate and 3 randomly picked players will win a $5 STAMPlorations gift certificate each.

Ready for more tagtastic inspiration? Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to see the gorgeous projects my teamies created and, of course, to link up your tag project/s too.

That's it from me for today. Have a lovely week.
