Guest Designer - Stamping Sensations Challenge

Today, I'm thrilled to be sharing a Guest Designer card for the Stamping Sensations Challenge, where the theme this month is:

'Garden Delights'

I picked a trio of Penny Black hedgehog stamps, all of them involving flower pots, to combine...the one of the left is called 'Garden Visit', and the other two (and the little bumblebee) are from the 'Wonderful' set. I stamped them on to watercolour paper, then coloured them using watercolour pencils. For the background, I used snippets of flowery papers from the 'Happy Watercolours' pad from The Works...distressing the edges, then adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.

Today, I'm excited to be sharing with you a guest designer card for the Stamping Sensations Challenge! As a winner of May's challenge, I was invited to join them this month, where the theme is:

'All Creatures Great & Small'

This was a fairly easy theme for me, as the majority of my stamp collection features animals in some form...however, the difficulty came in choosing just which stamp to use! I decided to go with some of the smallest creatures in my collection...mice...and picked this adorable image by Penny Black called 'Celebration Song'. I stamped it directly on to a kraft card blank, along with a sentiment (from the 'Anytime Messages' set byHero Arts), then coloured the image using watercolour pencils.

Guest Designer - Stamping Sensations Challenge!

Today, I'm excited to be sharing with you a guest designer card for the Stamping Sensations Challenge! As the winner of February's challenge, I was invited to join them this month, where the theme is:

'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'

The prize for the lucky winner is a £25 voucher to Be Creative!

I started by masking off a strip across the middle of a square of watercolour paper using masking tape, then I painted a rainbow across it using watercolour paints. Leaving the masking tape in place, I stamped my 'Big Butterfly' stamp (by Indigo Blu) over the rainbow using black pigment ink, then heat embossed it using clear embossing powder. I then removed the masking tape, and stamped and heat embossed the sentiment (from the 'Go To Words' set by Visible Image), before distressing the edges of the watercolour paper and adding to a kraft card blank.
