STAMPlorations Inspiration Project #21


Hi Everyone, its INSPIRATION day again at STAMPlorations

The DT girls made some beautiful cards to entice you playing with your stamps or stencils - STAMPlorations or otherwise.

Today I have been playing with the Marigold from the new stamp club set The Birds and The Blooms.

I first stamped the Marigold 3 times on Kraft, then masked it with rubber cement. After that dried I gessoed it over, let it dry again and then rubbed of the cement. I still am learning how to do this correctly, since it did not cover everything consistently and little specks of Gesso remained on the paper....That did not make me happy, so I made myself a post -it mask and repeatedly stamped onto the Gesso. Still not happy.... stamped the flower onto white card stock and fuzzy cut it and mounted it with foam tape. Now I liked it..... Added the sentiment from the set Fond Expressions

I don't know if you did this "right" or not. Don't care, because I love it. White & Black on kraft with that lovely marigold makes me very happy...and, you know, it's all about me. Anyhoo, fabulous card...going to try this one, too.

Wonderful idea for a sympathy card. I actually brought some masking fluid back with me this spring, but haven't been brave enough to try it. Kudos!

Wow! I am speechless :)

This is really cool, Cornelia! Love how it turned out. I wonder if masking fluid would be easier to use rather than rubber cement? It's been a long time since I've used masking fluid. Anyway, fantastic card! :-)

You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.
