Choose to Shine

Hi there,

I created this pretty Poppy tag for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out two tags using the Karten-Kunst Tags die set - one from kraft cardstock and one from patterned paper
• stamp the Karten-Kunst Scribble Poppies with Lawn Fawn Jet Black onto the kraft tag
• color the flowers with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers
• add some splatters with watered-down ink from Hero Arts Ink Dauber Neon Pink
• use a sticker as the sentiment
• stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Tag-Sprüche set with Versafine Nocturne onto the patterned paper side of the tag
• thread two strands of twine through the hole of the tag

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Sending Love

Hi there,

this is just a quick reminder of this month's Stencil Challenge over on the STAMPlorations Blog:

• stamp the giraffe from the STAMPlorations Tweet Love set with Memento Tuxedo Black - stamp that same giraffe but this time use the mirror stamping technique
• color the giraffes with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
• cut out a hill shape from Neenah Desert Storm kraft cardstock using the CUTplorations Winter Landscape
• add color to a white piece of smooth white cardstock with Distress Oxide Ink Tumbled Glass and then apply Distress Oxide Ink Salty Ocean through the ARTplorations Clustered Hearts stencil and around the edges
• stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versamark onto a strip of colored cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bight White Super Fine embossing powder
• add some patterned paper banners underneath the sentiment strip
• as final embellishments add three little glittery hearts

I hope to see some of your creations in the gallery.

Hugs,
