May Theme & Photo Prompt Reminder

Hi Crafty Friends!

Just a quick reminder that there is still time to play along at STAMPlorations May Challenges. Here is my reminder DT project for their Theme & Photo Prompt challenge ...

You can either follow the theme, which this month is Stamps & Wings, take inspiration from the photo or incorporate both.

I used both in my project a stamp from Wooded and Pumice Stone DI for the background, the layered Dragonfly Die for the wings and colours from the photo.

The interest in my card comes from the natural colour scheme and the three layers, vellum and 2 tones of kraft, of the dragonfly.

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.

One Of Those ...

Hello Crafty Friends!

Happy New Year! Welcome to January 2020 and the start of another round of challenges over at STAMPlorations. Here is my DT piece for this month's Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge ...

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Splatters 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.

As you probably already guessed, I took inspiration from both the theme and the photo for my one-layer card. Going for the heart shape and floral feel (despite it being more like veggies and old cutlery on closer inspection), I started off by stamping part of the Blossom Sprays #2 to one side of my card. I then used one of the splatter stamps from the Art Marks set to add colour to my blooms and stamp the partial heart shape outline. A sentiment from Wooded finishes my card.

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.

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

Little Owls

Hello Crafty Friends!

STAMPlorations are releasing a couple of new stamp sets designed by Shirley aka The Bees Knees today. They are owl so fab!

BIG OWLS | LITTLE OWLS

For my DT pieces, I got to work with the little ones. Aren't they cute!?

The background squares are simply stamped using some Prism inks with the ink pad itself being used as stamp.

For my next card, I fancied the idea of an heart shaped moon with one of the owls sitting on a branch.

As always with a new release, there is a little blog hop for you to join. Prizes are as follows:

- ONE (1) winner of a $15 gift code
- ONE (1) winner of her choice of any in-stock The Bee's Knees stamp set
The winners will be drawn at rondom from all the comments left on the STAMPlorations Blog and the participating designer's blogs.

Commenting closes on Thursday 8th August and the winners will be announced in the July Winners Post on August 10.

Links to the participating designer's blogs and more details can be found here on the SAMPlorations Blog.

That's it from me for today. Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to join the blog hop party and to check out the gorgeous projects my teamies made.

Have fun!
