STAMPlorations Inspiration #24

Hi everyone!  It's time again to try and inspire you!  Over at STAMPlorations the Inspiration Design Team has come up with some more fabulous cards to try and entice you to create!  If you want join in on the CASEplorations you could CASE our GD, Virginia Lu's card.  Or if you'd like you can CASE one of our cards from today's post or from the Inspiration posts #21, #22 or #23. Whichever way you'd like to play you can link up your cards and have a chance to win some prizes!  Here's my card...

For today's card I'm using one if the new sets designed by fellow teammate, Deepti.  It's called Blooming Buds.  It's a gorgeous set.  So, I first created a mask of one of the flowers and taped off a section on a beige card base.  Using my flower mask, I stamped my flowers in black ink (Memento).  Then I removed the tape and masked off the flowers so I could sponge black ink on the one side.  It looks like a black piece of paper but it's actually ink.  This is a one layer card.  I then tied some gold thread around my card and decided to forgo a sentiment.  I love how you can created the illusion of layers with ink.

So, if you want to play along and do some CASEing come on over and visit us HERE.

Here some guidelines to keep in mind:

• Pick any card (or two, or however many) from the Inspiration Project posts that we'll be publishing throughout the month of June (June 8, 12, 22, 26, and 30) that you want to CASE. You can create any type of project -- card, ATC, altered project, mixed media, art journal page, scrapbook page, etc.
• You can use any supplies you have. You don't have to use STAMPlorations products; products by other companies are welcome -- but please play for fun, not for promotion!
• In your blog post, include the card you're CASEing as well as describe how you were inspired by it. Link back to the Inspiration Project post too.
• Don't forget to link up your CASE project(s) to the Inspiration CASE Playground!
• CASE as many cards as you want, so long as you have them in separate posts on your blog.
• You have until July 5th to link up your creations.

And don't forget, you could win a prize too!  One winner will be randomly drawn from all entries to win a $15 gift certificate or their choice of any 2 ARTplorations stencils.  I do hope you'll join in on the fun!
