Masterpiece

Hi Friends!

Here is today's project, my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

Blossom Sprays #6 is perfect for slimline cards. I used it to make a UK sized DL card which is a little less tall than an American sized slimline card. It's simply stamped and coloured with Izink inks and makeup brushes, finished off with a few sequins.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

A Soft Heart

Hi Friends!

There are some exciting new stamp sets due to be released over at STAMPlorations. I had the pleasure of playing with two of them for today's post. The first one is called Art Marks 3 and you can make this really cool card with it ...

I used some of the stamps from the Art Marks 3 set to stamp the background and hearts. Initially I thought of using it as a background for some die-cuts, but I really liked how it turned out and I simply added a sentiment, sequins and doodled border to finish.

Inks used were Aurore and Cire Izink inks for the background and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide for the hearts.

The second one is called Life Is Sweeter and I'm getting rather fruity with it ...

I used Abandoned Coral, Fossilized Amber and and Twisted Citron, hint only, with the Circles Flexi-Template to blend my background for the gorgeous pineapple. Initially I was going to add some of the other fruits from the set too ... but then the pineapple doesn't look lonely to me. It's holding its space rather well.

Here are all the sets from the Pre-order Bundle ...

Art Marks 3, Life Is Sweeter, Super Hero

 

... which is currently on offer at 50% off until March 5. You can check out the details here.

The sentiment I used in my first card is from the Softly set and the circle template in my second card came from the Circles Flexi-Template ..

 

I leave you with one last look at both my card.

That's it from me for today. You cam check out some more projects using some of the new sets over on the STAMPlorations Blog.

Wishing you a lovely day!

STAMPlorations Special Release Day 3

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's release week over at STAMPlorations. They are introducing 4 stamp sets perfect for Spring themed cards and more ...

Here are my DT pieces for DAY 3 featuring Softly designed by Sherry aka Shery Russ Designs ...

Adding colour without colouring is the theme of my first card where I stamped the florals on a sponged rainbow coloured background and finished off with a gold embossed sentiment and a few sequins.

When first seeing the floral stamp from Softly, I envisaged it partially fuzzy cut off the edge and backed with a subtle background. Rather than colouring, I felt it could look rather elegant silver embossed with a white background ...

or a pink one adding subtle texture with tissue paper.

Here is Shery's new set ...

Softly
