DaY 2 of STAMPlorations Stamp Release Blog Hop

Day 2



Hey everyone!  It's time for another stamp release blog hop over at STAMPlorations!  For the next three days we are showcasing a new stamp set.  Today's set is designed by our amazingly talented and  just all around fantastic team leader, Shery!  Take a look at this awesome set...


Spotlight on HOPE BLOOMS


Aren't these just amazing?  Shery is so talented!  As soon as I saw that gorgeous butterfly stamp I knew I had to use it.  Take a look....



First, I stamped the butterflies in black Memento ink on light gray cardstock.  Then I stamped the sentiment in black too.  Next, I coloured in the butterflies with my Spectrum Noir markers (the bodies were done in grey IG4, IG6, IG8. The wings were done in CT4, OR1, TB2, TB3, TB6, CG2, DG3).  I painstakingly coloured in the black with a fine tip Faber-Castel PITT pen.  Lastly, I added the white dots with a white gel pen.

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here.
And don't forget to comment along the way!  You could win a prize if you do!

I hope you enjoyed your visit!  Have an awesome day!

  2. I don't own any of the Spectrum Noir markers, but I recently discovered Tim Holtz Water Brush which is an amazing tool, but one could not get quite the great shading you do with the water brush.
    thanks for sharing your beautiful creation

  19. What an apparently simple card and yet so much effort has gone into making the details perfect. The added depth from the (I'm sure very time-consuming) black against the white details on the butterfly wings really take this card from beautiful to truly stunning.
