STAMPlorations Inspiration Post #54

Hey everybody!  Well, 2016 is here and with it come some changes.  I stepped down from one of my design teams (OLCCC) to reduce the amount of card making demands. I'm hoping I get back into the Christmas craft fairs this year so I need to start working on my crafts really soon.  Just waiting for my son to go back to school (on Tuesday) and get back into a routine.  I've got some new craft ideas and I'll be sure to share them with you. :-)

Now, it's time for our first STAMPlorations Inspiration post of the year!  We've got some changes there as well.  The inspiration posts are no longer linked up with CASEplorations.  We are here now just to inspire you to create!  There is an opportunity to win a prize too. It's a random monthly prize if you comment on the main blog posts each Tuesday. The more you comment the better chance of winning!  You could win a $10 gift certificate to STtAMPlorations!  So, I hope you'll come on over and check out the amazing DT projects!  Here's what I made...

I have been playing with my new Spectrum Aqua markers again.  :-)  I coloured straight onto my butterfly stamp (Trendy Butterflies Set) with my markers (in Crimson, Orange, and Yellow) then spritzed with water before stamping onto watercolour paper.  Some of the time I would spritz with water again without re-inking the stamp.  I then stamped my flourish (Anchored set) with Dove Gray StazOn ink.  I stamped my sentiment (Fond Expressions 2 set) in black ink.  Lastly, I added a few sequins.  Love my new markers so much!  You'll be seeing me using these lots in the next while.  :-)

I hope you'll come over to the main blog and see all the other fantastic DT projects.  Maybe leave some love too.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day!
