Lotus Love

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. This week my treamies and I are showcasing stamps by our own Deepti under her label 'Dee's Artsy Impressions'. I decided to work with Lotus Love for a one-layer card. Here it is ...

It's pretty straight forward:

• fold a piece of A5 Mixed Media card in half
• stamp lotus, leaves and ripples in black Archival masking as you go along
• watercolour using inks (Strawberry Slush, Gumball Green, Mossy Meadow, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point) or watercolours
• stamp sentiment to finish

New for this year, the STAMPlorations Inspiration DT are showcasing stamps from one designer. All the stamps by that designer will be reduced by 10% for that one week apart from one set which will have a 20% discount. No coupon is needed at check out, and you still can apply my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA -which doesn't expire, by the way- for an extra 20% off all stamps, dies and stencils!

As mentioned earlier, this week we are showcasing stamps designed by my friend Deepti under her label 'Dee's Artsy Impressions'. All her sets will be reduced by 10% and the Kathryn And Christmas set will be 20% off.

Of course Shery will still draw a winner at random from all the comments left on this month's Inspiration Posts over on the STAMPlorations Blog. Pop over to see what my teamies created and to leave a comment for your entry into their prize draw.

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

Adding A Twinkle

Hi All,

Its time for a little Inspiration over at the STAMPlorations Blog. I decided to use one of their new sets called SMILE in combination with a sentiment from Lotus Love to create my DT piece .... a skinny one-layer card.

I started off by white embossing the lilies on my cream base card. Next I masked and sponged the partial oval using Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point inks before bleaching some of it from the flowers. I then used some Navajo Pearl Twinkling H2O to colour the lilies to make them look like floating above the card. I stamped my sentiment in Pacific Point and added some strategically placed sequins to finish.

After having been sitting in my cupboard for some time with only very occasional use, my Twinkling H2Os have finally come out to play. I rather like this effect and shall use it again. Here is a more close-up look ...

I am entering my card at:
Craft Stamper Make It Take It- Spring Flowers
One Layer Simplicity - As You Wish
CAS on Sunday - Flowers

For more inspiration, pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out the creations my fabulous teamies came up with, Whilst there leave a comment for your entry to win a $10 gift certificate for their shop.

I hope you enjoyed todays offering. I shall be back tomorrow for the ARTplorations Stencil Hop.

See you then.

Have a lovely day!
