STAMPlorations Inspiration #56

Good morning everyone!  Its cold and windy here in Jemseg this morning.  Yuck.  However, it's also another Inspiration day over at STAMPlorations!  We've got some lovely cards to share with you.  Remember to leave a comment at the main blog so you're entered into the random monthly prize drawing.  Here's my card....


(All stamps by STAMPlorations)

This card took a while to materialize.  It was one when my mojo was la King and nothing I tried was turning out right.  I kept trying with this card and this was the final result.  I'm still not sure I like it. I like elements of it but not sure about it as a whole. Anyway, what I did was take my rose stamp (Blossom Overture set) and, using my Spectrum Aqua markers, I coloured directly onto the stamp and spritzed with water before stamping onto watercolour paper.  I cut my panel into two strips and attached it to my card base with a small space between them.  I coloured thus space in with my green Spectrum Aqua marker I had used on the rose.  I added a strip of gold glitter tape (Recollections) and stamped the sentiment (Blossom Overture set) in black.  I really like how the roses turned out but not sure about the design. Oh well.

I hope you'll come on over to the STAMPlorations blog and check out the other DT projects. Fabulous as usual!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a fantastic day!

  1. I'm not a big fan of spritzing water onto stamps, however I think yours looks good. Not so much water that the image spread all over looking a bit out of control. Very nice job!
