STAMPlorations Monthly Challenge #8

This is my second post today. Please scroll down for the Simply Create Too challenge post.


Its a new monthly challenge at STAMPlorations! The theme is:





I used three STAMPlorations sets for this card: Subway Art Builders: CreateDistressed Floral SwirlsVignette Retro Mod Shapes



I inked up the little square from my all time favorite Retro Mod set, stamped it and then swooshed it side ways to get those smears. I just love how this came out! And those Subway Art builder sentiment fits perfectly - right? Nothing like padding yourself on your own shoulder.......Added the swirl stamp and some sequins.


Now hop on over to our blog and get inspired by our fabulously talented guest designer Kim from Art Keeps Me Sane and our wonderfully creative DT!

And here is our prize:
2 stamp sets of choice is STAMPlorations stamps were used, if not then one stamp set.

The challenge ends June 30; the winner will be announced July 3.

I hope to see you there! Thanks for visiting!

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
