Let me show you the cards I created with this set...

I wanted to focus on the image and kept my design pretty simple. Took some patterned papers and taking cues from the striped colorful paper, I colored my reindeer. assembled it for a simple look.

For this one I was inspired by a color palette I saw and also did some color blocking technique with papers to make my base. I then heat embossed the deer in gold and embellished it with die cut flower and leaf, oh and yes I also did a splatter of gold :)

For my third card I did  some water coloring. and made a focal image, embellished with some twine and wood veneer trees :)

Final design is also Clean and simple. I stamped the image and sentiment in black, used some post-it notes for masking and inked the triangle representing a tree :) to finish I adhered a striped patterned paper. I have so many ideas in my head with this set, can't wait to share them in future :)

Besides the new set I have used Trendy Spring Bloom dies and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle dies 

Hope you enjoyed it, don't forget to come back tomorrow for yet another new set :)

STAMPlorations Spotlight - Blossom Sprays

I am super excited about this post, for one I will be showcasing my newest Floral series "Blossom Sprays" under my stamp line Dee's Artsy Impressions that were recently launched on STAMPlorations 4th Birthday and two I have loads of inspiration for you. Don't forget to leave a comment here and at the STAMPlorations Blog for your chance to win :)

I have been into flowers from my childhood, so when I was designing these, it was pretty easy, it was as if my pencil for moving on it own :) haha Anyways, let me show you the three sets... Blossom Sprays #1, Blossom Sprays #2 and Blossom Sprays #3

and now the cards I created using these ... I have tried to make as many styles as possible and then there is so much more that you can do with these :)

To make this card, I first stamped the image and created a mask. I then stamped the image multiple times on white panel. I was not to concerned about perfect masking, some things can overlap. I then colored this with my Spectrum Noir markers :) To finish the sentiment was placed on a black panel. Even the background was colored with markers :)

 For the second card, I stamped the image twice on a A2 size white panel and fuzzy cut it. I then colored it with markers and adhered it on card base which was lined with corrugated paper :) To keep it simple I adhered a die cut sentiment :)

For my next set of cards, in this one I stamped the image on wood grain patterned paper and colored it with Prisma Color pencils :) I kept it simple by making this image the focal :)

 In this card I stamped the image along the edge of the water color panel and water colored it :) I wanted the background to be black. I did a little something extra for the velvet texture of the black background :) Once your water colored background is dry, use a Prisma color pencil to color it and then blend it with Gamsol :) Another  one layer card :)

 

For my final set of cards, I had to do no line water coloring... how can I do a post with so many cards and not include a no line water colored piece hahaha :) so below is that one. Coloring was done using Gansai Tambi Water colors.

 In this card I sort of did some spotlighting by stamping the image on kraft panel and then stamping it again on white panel, coloring some of that image, cutting it and then adding on the white panel with some dimension :) The coloring was done with Prisma Color Pencils.

 That brings an end to this post, I hope you enjoyed all of my creations :) there will be more in future ;) so keep looking.

For me, its pure satisfaction and of course the fun of making them and the delight of mailing those to my loved ones is simply priceless :) With Christmas closing in , I decided to transform my envelops from white to bright ;)

Here is what I created...
