STAMPlorations Inspirations #57

So I have to chuckle - apparently, since the first of the year, these STAMPlorations posts are suppose to be just that, inspiration.  We stopped having the "challenge" awhile ago.... whoops. Here I am inviting you all to join in, and there was no where to join... duh. 

Between Loll [Stamping with Loll], and Karen Dunbrook [Snippets], they have been creating some amazing backgrounds!  I wanted to try my version and see what happens.  I was inspired by the masculine/ colors from The Challenge #58.

To make this card, I used an ARTplorations stencil, Shutters, and used Versamark ink with white embossing powder.  I then sprinkled on my green and blue Brusho powders, and spritzed with water.  On a separate piece of water color paper, I stamped my sentiment from Bloom Sketches, again with Versamark and white embossed it.  Using the orange Brusho, I sprinkled and water spritzed that, and then punched out my heart.  The end result is definitely masculine, and I do love how vivid the Brushos turn out.


So here is the correct information regarding the Inspiration Posts;

Every Tuesday, the girls in the Inspiration team share projects that will hopefully inspire you in your own crafting adventures. We also love hearing from you so whenever you comment in our Inspiration Project posts, you get an entry to our monthly drawing: one commenter will win a $10 gift certificate to the store.  You can go HERE to see the other cards.


Thanks for stopping by~
