We're back at STAMPlorations with some 'EXCITING NEWS'

Today is the DAY that I get to tell all my
Crafty Friends that I have been invited to join
all the Talented Designer at STAMPlorations.
You will remember I was a Guest for the CAS Challenges
way back earlier in the year and been Guesting
 on several occasions since.
See Here for the most recent.
You can imagine how Excited! I was
as this is my Favourite Stamp Company and to be part of
the Talented Team is like a dream come true.

# UPDATE! The secret is out -  Shery (Owner of STAMPlorations)
announced the Current Design Team a few days ago Here
***
So without further ado here is the CUTplorations Inspiration Photo
 for our First Challenge back.

What caught your eye?
I chose to hone in on the word
HOME.
I thought a Christmas card would be a good idea
so I got out my STAMPlorations Supplies and
away I went.
My card base is a metallic paper.
The background sponged with
SU Rich Razzleberry and
Tim Holtz Stormy Sky.
The House is from STAMPlorations Houses - The Bee's Knees
heat embossed in white,
inked in SU Rich Razzleberry
and fussy cut - came out a little dark in the photo.
I cut another piece of card stock from the
CUTplorations Double Running Stitched Die
and the CUTplorations Nesting Dies
for my snowy background.
I know it doesn't snow here at Christmas time
but it does  'Somewhere' so I added white acrylic paint
splats to the background and the house which is popped.
Sentiment is STAMPlorations Merry
inked again with SU Rich Razzleberry.
Added some gems to finish.

Such a lovely card, Ina; the blended sky, the house, the sentiment the overall design are a delightful combination! I agree: there is no place like home for the holidays! Thrilled to be on the CUTplorations team with you; you're an incredible source of creativity and inspiration!
