Spotlighting at Just Us Girls

I'm hosting Just Us Girls Word Week and

chose a something I bet you haven't done for quite some time.

the SPOTLIGHT Technique.

I had so many ideas running through my head but

in the end I went with what I thought was

a reverse spotlight going with the feature

as a background.

I inked up two images from

STAMPlorations Blossom Sprays #3

with thebackground from a 

shaving cream piece from my bits box

and the top one with white c/s.

I got carried away and thought I would go all out

and make it a shaker card.

Remind me not to do one again in a hurry.

Bits go everywhere ...

Added tape to background and 

managed to line the top fairly closely.

Finished with the sentiment from

STAMPlorations Bloom Happy

and adhere to black base.

I did another one very similar to this

which went live a few days ago Here

Head over and check out the

Spotlighting that our Guest Rosemary

and the Team had fun with then I hope

you will go back in time and create

your spotlight card to add to our gallery.

Thank you for visiting and leaving

your kind comments.

Spring-ing ATC's for STAMPlrations

Hello and Welcome.

It's my turn to showcase some of the 

gorgeous spring ATC's that are 

flooding the STAMPlorations Blog at the moment.

If you haven't been over to check them out

you really are missing such wonderful creativity

by the STAMPgirls!

Here are my makes!

This one is showing off three of the ATC's.

Behind them I stenciled STAMPlorations Ethnic Organic 1

with Tim's Distress Ink

Added some grunge from STAMPlorations Art Marks

The ATC's were framed, adhered and popped.

Sentiment is die cut from

STAMPlorations Bloom & Grow

My second card has the

STAMPlortions Flutter Zen Artsy Borders

heat embossed 

STAMPlorations Celebrate Artsy

STAMPlorations Mixed Media Elements

(sadly retired)

STAMPlorations Vignette Eclectic Florals

in the background with

STAMPlorations Trendy Butterflies 2

(sold out atm)

for my sentiment.

Inks from Tim's Distress Range.

My last card I cut the house from

STAMPloration Houses 

to enable me to add the two hand cut house behind it.

The STAMPlorations Mosaic Slimline Stencil

was created with Translucent Crackle Paste.

Sentiment was cut and inked from

STAMPlorations Merry.

Added framed background and 

sisal and art stones in front of the houses.

Thanks for taking time out to check out 

my ATC creations - showing that you can

go all out and play with them in any way

you like to use them. 

Flowers Bloom!

It's that time of the month for our new 

Anything Goes Challenge over at the

STAMPlorations Blog

 

 

Check out all the Details here.

I created this CAS card using a 

 background from my bits box.

Inked and heat embossed the 

STAMPlorations Blossom Sprays #3 twice,

 for the coloured background and the other

popped in the foreground.

Die cut a circle to blend in.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations Bloom Happy

Added a few black pearls, corner rounded

and attached to black base to complete.

Don't forget to head over and check out

what the STAMPgirls created and come

join in the fun as there are prizes of all sorts to win.

PS while I was making this card there was another

very similar one on the craft table that you will see in a few days.

Nothing like a twofer creation going on so no your eyes

aren't seeing double.

Thanks for visting and leaving a kind comment.
