Stampotique Challenge #278

Hi Everyone,

we at Stampotique have a brand new challenge starting - the theme is "use some kind of tape". I used Washi tape, but you can use whatever you have at hand - painters tape, duct tape, you name it, it works!


I also used the new Sealife cube from the new release. You just have to love those little sea horses!

I first stenciled the background with the Repeating Bubble Swirls stencil from iStencil, which I think is just perfect for those seahorses/ I used oxide inks for that. I then stamped the seahorses and colored them with Inktense pencils. I dry embossed the background and added my seahorse panel plus some Washi tape.

Stampotique Challenges run every TWO weeks......
Please remember you can use any stamps for our challenge and you are allowed to have 2 entries per challenge. From all the current months entries we will draw 2 random winners who will each win a 30.00 gift certificate on the first week of the following month.

Have fun with your tape!
Hope to see you at the challenge and HERE is the link to link up your cards!

Only one HUGE comment. WOW! WOW! WOW! This reminds me of the seahorse exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. You've captured their gorgeous colors perfectly. (Guess that was more than one comment, oops.)

I love the embossing and the gorgeous panel you created for your seahorses! This is just beautiful! I never think to add washi tape, but I love the effect! So happy you joined my challenge at The Paper Players this week! XX

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... 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. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
