this is my third Throwback Thursday Post and my three projects were inspired by this wonderful card by Craftyfield which was published on the STAMPlorations Blog in January. I just love the watercolor effect over the stenciled flowers.
My first project is a jungle scene:
- apply Grit Paste through the ARTplorations Leaf Prints 3 stencil onto a piece of watercolor paper - let it dry thoroughly
- sprinkle some Color Burst Lime Green onto the panel and mist it water
- wrap a strand of natural twine around the panel
- stamp one of the adorable little monkeys from the STAMPlorations Chikoo goes Bananas set with Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf and color it with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers - add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and add highlights with a white gel pen
- cut out the CUTplorations Hang in there twice from Neenah Desert Storm kraft cardstock, layer them on top of each other and glue the sentiment onto the panel
- adhere the panel to a cardbase
My second project is this flowery tag:
- apply Embossing Paste through the ARTplorations Bloom Succulently stencil onto a CUTplorations Manila Tag cut from watercolor paper - let this layer dry thoroughly
- sprinkle the lower part of the tag with Brusho Sea Green and the upper part with Brusho Violet and mist it with water
- dye a piece of torn seam binding with that same two colors and thread it through the hole of the tag
- add the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Shine Bright sticker set
My third project is this mermaid card:
- apply Grit Paste through the ARTplorations Scaly stencil onto a piece of watercolor paper - let this dry thoroughly
- sprinkle the upper part of the panel with Nuvo Shimmer Powder Cherry Bomb and the lower part with Nuvo Shimmer Powder Atlantis Burst
- adhere the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Inspirational #1 sticker set onto a strip of paper colored with Prima Marketing Wax Sweet Rose - add a black layer underneath that sentiment strip
- adhere the panel to a black cardbase
I hope you got inspired.
Hugs,
These are such fun and inspirational projects!
