Happy 5th Birthday STAMPlorations

Hi!
Kindly refer to my 1st post HERE for the start.

The Papertrey Ink-woodblock prints paisleys were stamped followed by second generation stamping for the inner portion of the paisleys and finished off with Heidi Swapp-script words sentiment.

I'm back to celebrate STAMPlorations 5th Birthday

Hello friends!

    How are you all. It's been a long time since my last post. Never meant to be away so long, but things took a bad turn here with my SIL's hospitalization, death, guests and frequent backaches. My crafting space was a complete mess, I was in no mood to clear it and as I'm the type who likes to work in a neat and clean area, no cards were made, but I have been trying out hand lettering and watercoloring and posting on Instagram.

    This year when I saw the STAMPlorations birthday graphic, I decided to be part of the celebration at least by commenting on their daily posts. As I kept commenting each day, I was getting inspired to craft. Just two days ago I took the leap to make a card, then could not find my black ink pad, I started searching and simultaneously putting thing in order. As my desk got tidied and cleant I felt like making another card and ended up making two more. Yesterday, I got carried away and made six. So I have a total of  ten cards to share with you but they will all be posted individually as per rule. Here's my first card CASEing the STAMPlorations owner Shery Russ inspired by Black and White.

After stamping the Stampin' Up-Swallowtail, the butterfly was masked and Inkadikado-foilage trails were stamped. As parts of the butterfly stamped lighter, the details were filled in with Letraset 0.1-drawing pen, then colored with a grey Prismacolor pencil in the darker areas. A few watercolor splatters were added and finished off with a sentiment from Taylored Expressions-embrace beauty.

Variation of Rainbow Themed Cards.

Hi there!

    I hope you are enjoying the week long WCMD fun as I am. I'm here today with three cards. 

Here's a variation of three cards made from one water coloured rainbow panel, gold card and Papertrey Ink's thick and thin thanks die.

 Card 1

The background was water coloured at random and splattered with gold paint. The sentiment was die cut and inlaid with the thick gold word then the thin rainbow word and finished with sequins.  

Card 2

The thick rainbow word die cut sentiment was used in this card with the thin inlaid gold after smooshing the background with gold paint and finished with sequins.

Card 3

The panel was cut to size and the waste strips were used in this card with the thick gold and thin white die cut word and finished with sequins.

Here's my desk space with products for more cards to be made.
