Your Own Paradise

Hello Crafty Friends!

Just a little reminder that there is still time to play at the May challenges over at STAMPlorations. Here is a little more inspiration for their Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge ...

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Tropical and the photo prompt can be seen below. Your project can either be inspired by the theme, photo prompt or both. The full challenge rules can be found here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

Somehow hibiscus blooms create an association with tropical for me. Just had to google it because as I was writing this I realized that I didn't even know where it came from. You can check it out here. It is a tropical plant, phew ...

It's a one-layer card and the hibiscus was coloured using Izink inks and my little eyeshadow applicator brushes.

As for the prizes:
Two winners, one of a $15 gift certificate and one of a $10 gift certificate, will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $5 gift certificate.

In order to be considered for a prize, make sure you've followed the rules here.

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out how my teamies interpreted the challenge theme and prompt and of course to join in the fun too. More challenge inspiration can be found in the May Challenges Reminder post here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

That's it from me for now. Have a lovely day!

Beautiful Hibiscus

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.  I was working with the Heartfelt Hibiscus to create today's card ...

... which was coloured with my favourite metallic pencils. I then simply added some gold splatters, a stamped and die-cut sentiment and a couple of sequins to finish.

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