Daisy Row

Hi Crafty Friends!

Another retired beauty which is now available from STAMPlorations Digital Store here is the Daisy Row.

All I needed to add were some stamped splatters and sentiment for colour finishing off with some sequins.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Floral Love

Hi Friends!

Just a quick post today sharing my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

As you can see I've taken a break from making Christmas cards and opted for floral love instead.

I simply stamped the Blossom Sprays #4 and coloured the image with a mix of watercolour pencils and metallic pencils. It was finished off with a stamped and doodled sentiment border before layering on my base card.

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

Blossom Sprays #4, Tweet Love

Introducing Vintage Blooms #2 ATCs

Hi Crafty Friends!

STAMPlorations are having some new Ephemera ATCs which I am pleased to be showcasing today. They are called Vintage Blooms #2, gorgeous white blooms on a kraft background which I decided to colour.

Here is my first trio ...

Let's have a look at them individually ...

My first ATC was coloured using watercolour pencils and a light damp brush. It was popped up on a collage background in Sahara Sand SU ink. To create the background I used: Leaf Prints #4 regular size stencil, the script from the Mixed Media Elements stamp set and the splatters from the Art Marks stamp set. It was finished off with a sentiment from the So Loved set in Elegant Eggplant SU ink.

The poppy was coloured using alcohol markers. My red one had gone a bit dry hence the unusual effect. It was popped up on a collage background in Grenadine Izink ink. For the background I used: Placid square stencil, the script and splatters from the Mixed Media Elements set and a sentiment from the Tweet Love set.

My last card's flowers were coloured with watercolour pencils. The collage background features the Square Lots square stencil, the script from Mixed Media Elements and the florals from Blossom Sprays #2, all in Elegant Eggplant SU ink. My card was finished off with a die-cut 'hugs' and pink sequin.

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

Vintage Blooms #2 ATC - Ephemera, Mixed Media Elements, Art Marks, So Loved

   

Leaf Prints #4 Standard Size Stencil, Placid Square Stencil, Square Lots Square Stencil

A Load Of Love

Hi Friends!

Today I got a load of love for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

I a sort of messed up my blending the other day by smudging some of the ink when removing the stencil ... one of these arrrrghhh moments.

I decided to use the truck anyway and was looking for a way to make good use of it. The individual shapes were fuzzy cut and attached to a new base. I added a bit of background using the Square Lots and Clouds stencils with Weathered Wood and Tumbled Glass DIs and Aurore and Cire Izink inks.

The card was finished off with a sentiment and layered Clustered Hearts.

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

Holiday Trees Stencil, Tweet Love, Square Lots Stencil, Clouds Stencil

   

Clustered Hearts Die
