Flowers

Our challenge this week at Inspired Stamps is a Flower card with Scripture.  There's so many Inspired Stamps floral sets to choose from, but I love this set, Butterflies and Blooms.

 

Using the butterfly on the two flowers stamp, I masked off the butterfly and stamped the flowers on white cardstock.  Then, I added some colours using Copic Markers and finish off with the punched butterflies.  The sentiment is from the set Fall Gratitude.

 

If you have been eying some stamp sets, this is a great time to get them - there's a wonderful sale going on this week.

Plus, throughout the whole month of May, Antoinette is sharing 31 days of Mixed Media ideas and projects.

Hello There..

Hi Everyone!  Hope your week is going well.  Today, we are sharing Spring cards with Inspired Stamps.  It feels odd to be thinking of Spring when the weather in Australia is heading into Autumn, although the days are still sunny, they are getting shorter.

I made a CAS card, using two different Stamp sets - the butterfly from "Butterflies and Blooms" set, and the sentiment from "Thinking of You" set.

The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder, and the butterflies were coloured with Copic Markers. The card measures 4 x 4".

Thank you for stopping by.  Be sure to head over to the Inspired Stamps blog to see the rest of the wonderful Spring cards by the Design Team.

Inspired Stamps - Summer card

Hello!  It's a Summer Inspired Stamps project this week, and I hope the weather is beautiful where you are ;)  It's getting a little cold downunder but it's ok, at least the sun is shining.

On this card, I used the Inspired Stamps sets Flower buds and sentiment from Butterflies and Blooms.  The flowers are coloured using Copic Markers - Flowers (R21, R43, R46), Leaves (G40, G43, G46) and Background (BG0000).  Two of the flowers were popped up for some interest.  The clouds were created using a scallop border and sponging.

I hope you like the card.  Please check out the Inspired Stamps blog for all the fabulous creations and ideas from the Design Team.

Thank you for stopping by.

Inspired Stamps - Thank You

Hi!  This week's Inspired Stamps project is Design Team's choice.  I really wanted to play with the new stamp set, Inspired Shapes more, with inking technique.

I took this photo at an angle to show the shimmer from the Perfect Pearls

I stamped the circle border on white cardstock with Versamark, and heat embossed with Detailed White Embossing powder.  Then, I added some Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold, Shabby Shutters, Barn Door and Evergreen Bough) and brushed on some Perfect Pearls before the inks dry.  To seal the Perfect Pearls, I spray misted some water on the cardstock and heat set it dry.

On another piece of cardstock, I stamped the butterfly & flowers image using Memento Rich Cocoa.  The image was coloured with Copic Markers - Butterfly (BG01, G00) and Flowers (R81, R83, R85, R00, YG01, YG03, YG17) and cut out using a circle Spellbinders die.  I added some Atyou Spica Clear Glitter pen over the butterfly and flower centres.

Here are the stamp sets I used:

Inspired Shapes

Butterflies and Blooms

Perfect Sentiments
