Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone,  you probably are thinking now I that I am completely crazy, but don't worry, I'm not.... I made this card specifically for my blogging friend Carol from Just me: c, after she left me a real funny blog comment about the birds being larger than hippos in her part of the world...never mind that she lives in Canada and they ain't havin' hippos there, chuckle... Used one of those crazy birds by Tim Holtz. The sentiments are by  Stamplorations - Noteworthy  and Hero Arts. Also used one of the Mixed Media Grunge stamps . The hippo is by Rubber soul. The colors I got from Colour me....! - see below. Added splatters, of course. Linking up with : The Male Room - birds Colour me....!

Hi Everyone, its INSPIRATION day again at  STAMPlorations !  The DT girls made some beautiful cards to entice you playing with your stamps or stencils - STAMPlorations or otherwise. For this card I used the Kingfisher from Shirley's set  Small Birds  and colored it with water colors. I then made a mask and sponged around the bird. The sentiment is from the new set  Noteworthy . LOVE the fonts!         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 May - 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 ARTplorations stencils.

Hi Everyone, welcome to the third day of our   STAMPlorations  blog hop! I hope you had fun yesterday! If not, you' ll have plenty of time to catch up and leave your comments - it increased your chances to WIN! We have 5 new stamp sets to entice you with: Today we are featuring  NOTEWORTHY  . Another sentiment only set with cool fonts and timeless sentiments. You can use that for the rest of your stamping life and never get tired of it! I paired my card up with an  ARTplorations stencil , which I first sponged in yellow on watercolor paper and them spread clear embossing paste on it. After the paste dried I sponged with distress inks and added some water droplets. Did the same with the sentiment round and heat embossed the sentiment in white. The die cut vellum star behind it is from Papertrey. Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects  here . Stops on the hop: Darnell ...
