April Theme & Photo Prompt

Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome April, it's time for a new round of monthly challenges over at STAMPlorations. Here is my DT piece for April's Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge over on their blog.

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Text 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.

Sometimes one can get rather fixed on images. This is what a sort of happened to me when trying to decide what to make as my DT piece plus I didn't want to do some random stamping using chosen words/sentiments from various sets. Using the large Typographia sentiments seemed to be a bit too easy.

That's when I remembered some old favourites which I was sure had made their way to STAMPlorations digital store ... so I dug out the Subway Art Builder Dare and Create.

Whilst I used the stamp version of the digis and stamped them next to each other on the card, it should be quite easy to align the two large digis (you get all 10 sentiments as separate files plus two large images with the 5 sentiments each arranged as they were for the stamps) and print them directly onto your base card or topper.

To finish, I simply added the brush and sentiment from Life In Full Color and a splatter from Art Marks.

As for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge prizes:
One winner of a $20 gift code ($25, if STAMPlorations products were used as the main focal point) will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 2 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $10 ($15, if STAMPlorations products were used as the main focal point) gift code.

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

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

Subway Art Builders - Dare and Create - set of 12 Digital Stamps, Art Marks, Life In Full Color
