STAMPlorations December Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge Reminder

Hello crafty friends and welcome!

Just popping in with a reminder for

 STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge!

I've used just the theme this time for my card:

Here's the inside:

I created a wreath using a couple stamps from the Christmas Bell Medley set.

The sentiment is one of the clear stickers from the

Tis the Season Clear Sticker pack. I added rhinestones around the sentiment

to use as berries. They were originally clear rhinestones, but I colored them 

with a red marker. On the inside, I used one of the sentiments from the

Holiday Expressions Yuletide Cheer stamp set.

There's still plenty of time to play along. Plus there are prizes to be

won if your project is picked from the Theme & Photo Prompt gallery.

STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt reminder

Hello and welcome crafty friends!

Just popping in with a reminder about the 

STAMPlorations October Theme & Photo Prompt challenge!

Using both the theme and photo as inspiration,

I've created this card:

I stamped around the edges of the panel in three ink colors, using

images from the Big Bloom Factory and Bloom Factory sets.

In the center, I used a sentiment sticker from the

Happy Happy clear sticker pack. A few sequins and rhinestones

finish the card.

I hope you'll join in fun and link up your project at the

STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt challenge!

It's time for the October STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge!

 Hello crafty friends! Can you believe it's October now?!!

Where did the year go?!

The great news about it being October is that the new challenges start

up again at STAMPlorations!

Shery has done some reorganizing over the summer break, and the

theme and sketch challenge is now the

THEME & PHOTO PROMPT challenge.You can use the
theme, the photo, or both as your inspiration!

You can find all the details over on the main blog.

For my card, I've used the theme along with the photo prompt:

Stamping onto black card stock would probably be much easier using

Distress Oxides, but I haven't any of them. (I know, what am I waiting for. I still

don't have the complete set of the DI's yet. LOL!)

What I do have are the Color Box cat eye pigment inks. I started by inking

each flower from the Trendy Spring Blooms set, first in Frost White,

then in each of the three colors I chose. (When stamping onto dark card stock,

stamping first in white will let the colors show much better instead of

just disappearing into the dark card.) A stamping platform like a MISTI

will be your best friend when doing this! After I let the panel dry (using

my heat tool, because I'm impatient), I stamped the outline stamps

in versamark ink and heat embossed in gold.

I filled in some of the open space using the two tiny flowers from the

Faerie Door set. A simple sentiment from the Balloons and Banners set

was added onto the panel using foam squares.

Ready to play along? Of course you are! Plus, there are crafty goodies

to be had to some lucky winners. Woo Hoo!
