May Theme & Photo Prompt

Hi Friends!

It's time for a new lot monthly challenges over at STAMPlorations are back. Here is my DT piece for May's Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge over on their blog.

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Wings 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.

I have gone for taking inspirations from both the theme and the photo, stamped feathers and sheet music for the background and wings for the die-cut bird.

Placid stencil with Aurore, Cerise and Mer Du Sud Izink inks for the stencilling, the feathers were stamped with Weathered Wood Distress Oxide and the sheet music with Elegant Eggplant SU ink.

As for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge prizes:
One winner of a $20 gift code will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $7 gift code.

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

Introducing New ARTplorations Stencils

Hi Crafty Friends!

Over at STAMPlorations they are releasing 6 new stencils designed by Helen under her label Helen G Designs. In true style they are celebrating with a blog hop.

Before I give further details, let's first have a look at the new stencils ...

  

Brick Wall, Clouds, Rubber Bands

  

Petals 1, Petals 2, Petals 3

Aren't they amazing? I really loved working with them. Here are my makes ...

In my first card, I used the Petals 1 stencil to highlight the negative Perched Bird die-cut ...

... my next card uses the Clouds stencil for the background and the Petals 3 stencil to add interest to my die-cut bird ...

... my last card uses the Rubber Bands and Brick Wall stencils to create a funky background for my stamped bird.

As always with a blog hop, there are prizes to be won. Two winners will be randomly drawn from all the comments left on the STAMPlorations blog and all the participating designers' blogs, links to which can be found here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

One crafter will win all 6 of Helen's new stencils and the second winner will win 3 of the new stencils (winner's choice).

Commenting finishes on Wednesday 8th April and the winners will be announced in the March Winners post over on the STAMPlorations Blog on Friday 10th April, just in time for Easter.

Here is one last look at my projects ...

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog for more stencil inspiration and to join the blog hop.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
