Stamp This!

This week the Stampendous Design Team is playing with the beautiful butterfly stamps that were released in April.  These gorgeous images are already collaged for you.  With enough area to be fun to color and enough backround to save you heaps of time, they're a super quick way to get a gloriously textured, layered card.  You can cut out the butterfly from a second stamping to add depth, or simply stamp in black over your Creative Palette monoprints for a fast and easy card.

My card was colored with Prisma pencils, the background was sponged with peeled paint Distress ink and the Butterfly Pattern was popped up.

Today I'm sharing the Eiffel Collage stamp from Stampendous.  This is a very pretty stamp and detailed so when I looked at it I thought "oh my gosh, that will take me forever to color."  I decided to color only a square which was placed on a white panel, then the image was stamped.  The bird was colored with pencils and around him was watercolored.  The rest of the collage was sponged with Tea Dye Distress Inks and embossed with the Blue Encrusted Jewel Kit.  Then layer onto a tan panel and mount to a dark blue card.

And now for a GIVEAWAY!

This week the Stampendous Design Team is sharing beautiful butterfly creations and here is mine.
1.  Stamp Buttterfly Tune on white paper with Onyx Black VersaFine ink and color with Prisma pencils.
2.  Mask the butterfly and sponge with Tea Dye Distress ink.
3.  While the mask is still on the butterfly, stamp sentiment from Loving Messages.
4.  Layer onto black paper and glue to a card layered with decorative paper.
5.  Tie a string of beads and ribbon together, glue to card using 3 in 1 glue from Beacon Adhesives.
6.  Hit the ribbon with your heat gun so it will shrivel but not for too long but DON'T shrivel the ends.
7.  Apply Stiff Stuff from Beacon Adhesives to the ends of the ribbon, curl around a pencil and let dry.  It won't take long, try blowing on it to speed it up.
8.  Add a flower and you're don't.

And now for a GIVEAWAY!

This week the ladies from the Stampendous Design Team are sharing creations made with images from the October 2013 and January 2014 catalogs!

This card is quick and easy, the stamp is called Wild Roses and it's a collage stamp.  So stamp once and your done. The roses are colored with watercolor pencils and blue chalk was rubbed around the image for a shadow.  May Arts ribbon was wrapped around the bottom and tied with a button.
