Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, its INSPIRATION day again at  STAMPlorations !  Again our wonderful DT made some beautiful cards to entice you playing with your stamps or stencils - STAMPlorations or otherwise. And perhaps I can also inspire you to play along with us! I totally LOVE  Deepti's  Lotus Love set  - had to make another card: I heat embossed, masked and sponged and that is the result. I did not put a sentiment on it - perhaps later or I just leave it as it is. Probably just leave it. Did not want to detract from that little tranquil scene. I cut my grey card stock a bit to balance out the card. And here you get another view: So, if you are up for it - CASE my card or any other card and link it up  HERE  over at STAMPlorations. The InLinkz gallery  will be open until the 5th of September - gives you plenty of time! One winner will be randomly drawn from all entries to win a $15 gift certificate or their choice of any 2 ARTplorat...

Hi Everyone -  I am so happy and proud to be guest designer for the Craft Stamper magazine January Take it Make it challenge ! I got that honor with winning the November challenge with THIS card, where I also won this fabulous stamp set from  Artistic Stamper  (see picture below), which I used to create my two inspiration cards. This months theme is Anything Goes with stamps (no digis)- don't we all LOVE this?  In both cards I stamped the background with the wavy stamp from this stamp set in various colors. I then used those wonderful Raindrop stamps from Ryn Tanaka and stamped them over the wavy lines. I used a light color wash to color the water drops and added white highlights to make them more 3-D.  The sentiment stamps are by STAMPlorations - for the pink card I used  Bloom Sketches  and for the green card I used  Artful Flutters I am linking my card with Ryn's customer creation challenge - anything with Ryn stamps ...

I wanted to play with my new stamps ( Artistic Stamper ) I won at the November Craft Stamper challenge with THIS card. And what better way to use them and play in their current challenge - white stamping.  I did some white stamping, but did not find it white enough, so I heat embossed it in white. Added the heat embossed sentiment b y STAMPlorations -  Trendy Feathers  and some gold Paper Candi. also added some tiny gold beads on gold thread. Playing in these challenges: AAA challenge  - use a little gold Craft Stamper - white stamping Challenge Up Your Life - Kraft Friday Mash-up - 2 layer card
