Hey there! Over at STAMPlorations we've got a new CUTplorations challenge starting for November. It's time to pull your dies out again and wow us! We have an inspiration photo to inspire you and all you have to do is make something using a die cut and link up. It's not necessary to use STAMPlorations dies but we love it when you do! Check out this months inspiration photo....
Isn't it such an interesting image? Such lovely colours. The colour scheme and leaves were my inspiration. Here's my card....
First, I masked off a section of my card and sponged on Antique Linen Distress ink. Then I stamped my leaves (Trendy Leaves set) and embossed them in clear. I then took Seedless Preserves and Spiced Marmalade Distress ink and sponged over top. I added some water droplets afterward. I removed the mask and then stamped my sentiment (Sentiment Builders: Happy set) and die cut the word, amazing (Amazing Word Die), out of gold metallic cardstock. I really love how this turned out.
I hope you'll all join us for this months challenge. As always there is a prize to be won if you link up! All the prize details can be found at the main blog.
Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!
