STAMPlorations Spotlight - Color Blocking!

Hello friends! I am up with a spotlight project over at the STAMPlorations blog. I hope I will be able to inspire you. When I saw the newest Stamp Club set "Sweet Cravings" all that came to my head was something colorful. So hear I am sharing my vision. I had so much fun with color blocking technique, the inking and masking is so much fun and once you have all the colors in place you really don't have to do much :) 

Here is what I created...

I have used Sweet Cravings and Sweet Cravings Dies

One commenter will win her choice of 3 Typografia Motivate stamps. The winner will be randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMP blog and participating designers' blogs.

Commenting closes on Monday, August 28 and Winner will be announced on Tuesday, August 29.

Let me show you the cards I created with these stamps...

As the stamp says rainbow, I had to make a rainbow but instead of going with traditional inking, water coloring etc I used a stencil to make the rainbow, every flower was masked and inked to create the rainbow. The stamp was stamped on top and adhered on a fog card base.

For my second card, I kept it pretty simple by stamping floral design in a colored ink and coloring it in same color for a subtle background. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment and added a few sequins.

Besides the new stamps I have used ARTplorations Bloom Silhouettes Stencil , Blossom Sprays #2 and CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting dies.

These are so much fun and look at the numerous possibilities you have with these :)

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

For my very first card I dis some inking to create my winter sky, stamped some trees and went over with white gel pen for the snow of trees, then I die cut the plate die, kept all the pieces together for my inlaid look. I used foam sheet for layering.To finish I added the snowman on top. 

For this one too I did in laid die cutting but added no dimension. I simple water colored a piece and used the positive to inlay into the negative tree die cut on kraft. Layered this with patterned papers to finish my card.  

These baubles called for a metallic and dimensional look. For that I cut the dies using gold foil card stock and also die cut foam sheet for adding dimension. To finish I added these with gold string on a patterned paper.

For my final card, I turned the snow angels into ornaments and gave the look as if they are hanging from the Christmas tree by stamping some pine needles along the top edge of wood grain patterned paper. I also embossed these with an embossing folder :)

Besides the new set I have used Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle dies , Vignette Tree Silhouettes Gone Postal, Clustered hearts dies, Holiday Expressions - Yuletide Cheer and Christmas Bell Medley
