Addicted To Stamps And More #442 - Christmas...

Hello again! I hope you are ready for some inspiration for the Addicted To Stamps And More challenge. We had a nice break for Christmas and New Year. And now me and rest of the DT team is ready to inspire you again! The theme this time is:

I recently got my order of Altenew products. I pulled out the Wonderful Wreath stencil to create this card.

I placed the stencil over a piece of watercolor paper and simply painted with my Zigs through the openings. I used light brown, rust and dark green pens. After the coloring was done, I spritzed the paper with the mister and let it air dry.

The sentiment is from the Altenew Lovely Ornaments stamp set. I stamped and heat embossed it with copper embossing powder. I also added some along the edges for a more grungy look. To finish, I added some half pearls from my stash.

I hope you liked my card and will create something beautiful for this challenge. You can link your creations to the ATSM gallery. Please don't forget to visit the other DT who have some incredible inspiration for you. I look forward to visiting you in our gallery.

Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge - March 2023...

Hi! I am here with the inspiration for the March challenge of the Happy Little Stampers Stencil challenge. I am excited to be back after the long break for Christmas and New Year!

I got some new supplies from Altenew recently and decided to use them to create two tags.

I used the Paint-A-Flower Camellia Outline stamp set along with it's simple coloring stencil. Once the tags were ready, I ran them through the Illusion Triangles 3D Embossing Folder.

Here is another look at the tags.

I hope my tags inspire you to create something beautiful. You can visit the Happy Little Stampers challenge blog for more inspiration and link your creations. I look forward to visiting you in our gallery.

Happy Little Stamper March Watercolor Challenge...

Hi! We are back after a long, refreshing break! I am happy and excited for the new year and the new challenges in 2023!

This month we have an optional prompt for the HLS Watercolor Challenge.

My card uses the Altenew Mariposa embossing folder and CrafTangles liquid watercolors.

I dropped the liquid watercolors into the embossing folder randomly and placed the watercolor paper over it. I sprayed the watercolor paper with water before placing it in the embossing folder. Once the paper was dry, I trimmed it to size and stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Fresh Freesia set with black Versamark Onyx ink.

I hope you liked my card. I look forward to your beautiful creations in the HLS gallery. Do visit the blog for some more inspiration by my teamies.
