STAMPlorations Inspiration #278

It's Inspiration Tuesday at STAMPlorations, and today I've got a grungy mixed media-type card for you.  I made my background using Distress Inks, and once that was dry I stamped Deepti's flowers in black, along with the butterfly and the dotty splodge from Scribbly Splattery Grunge. The border die is from Art Edges and the sentiment is from Everyday Sentiments.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #277

Helloooo! It's Inspiration Tuesday at STAMPlorations, and I'm on a tea theme.  I stamped the Tea Blend Word Art background stamp on a mop-up card, then stamped the cup from Thank You Coffee and added a sentiment strip using Happy Birthday from Balloons and Banners.

Seize The Birthday - Non-neutral Card Base

Hello, and welcome to a new challenge at Seize The Birthday.  Our theme for this challenge is non-neutral card base (or anything goes if you'd prefer).

You can just about see that my card base is shiny hot pink :)  I made the front panel last year when I was staying with my friend Jenny at her beach house in Australia, and I've finally got round to doing something with it.  The stamp is from Visible Image.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #276

It's Inspiration Tuesday at STAMPlorations, and today I've got a similar card to last week's.  I'd batch-stamped the Bloom Doodles flowers, and while I had the paintbrush out I'd painted a few extra flowers, so it was just a case of putting it all together.  The stencil is Helen's Make Marks 5 and the sentiment is from Everyday Sentiments.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #275

It's Inspiration Tuesday on the STAMPlorations blog, and today I've gone with some lovely bright colours.  I stamped some of the flowers from Bloom Doodles, watercoloured them with Distress Inks and fussy cut them.

I found the stencilled card base in my stash (Helen's Make Marks 5), on which I sponged the same colours I'd used for the flowers, then spritzed lightly to get a dappled effect.  Once I'd popped the flowers with foam dots I added the sentiment from Everyday Sentiments in gold.
