STAMPlorations Inspration Post #40, Roundup

Hey everyone!  This is the last Inspiration post for September over at STAMPlorations!  We have a great bunch of projects to share with you and if you want you can play along too.  You can CASE my card, or any of the other DT's cards, or CASE Gail's tag from the CASEplorations post.  You can even CASE any of our cards from Inspiration Posts #36, #37, #38, or #39.  As usual, there's prizes!  So, let me show you my card for today.


(All stamps are by STAMPlorations)

This card came about by just playing around with some Distress inks and stamps.  I love the way you can get Distress inks to blend just by adding a bit of water.  For this card I took two feather stamps (Trendy Feathers set) and inked them up with peacock feathers, picked raspberry and antique linen.  I spritzed it with water then stamped. I did this over two thirds of the card then added a trimmed strip of washi tape.  I stamped the sentiment (Balloons and Banners set) vertically in black.  Love these colours together.  So bright and fresh!  :-)

I hope you come on over to the STAMPlorations blog and check out all the other fabulous projects and maybe add your own!  Join us in October for a new round of Inspiration posts too!

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!

I'd like to link up to the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - anything goes
Addicted to Stamps and More - clean and simple
Time Out Challenge - CASEing Tracey McNeely.  I was inspired by the colours she used.
