ARTplorations Blog Hop Day 1

Hi Everyone, this is my second post today...scroll down, if you want to see the first one, or click HERE

lots of things happening at STAMPlorations this week! We are having a stencil blog hop!




I made this card for it:


Spritzed the background in light green, spritzed again in a darker shade of green with the stencil in place. Waited for the paper to dry. Cut it, underlayed it in black and added the sentiment. The flower I colored with pencils and fuzzy cut it. Added some leaves cut with a Memory Box die.

Her is a slightly different view:

What do you use to spritz? I love your card it looks really neat but I thought you could only sponge or go over with paste or paint.

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. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
