STAMPlorations inspiration #219

Welcome to another Tuesday inspiration from the STAMPlorations inspiration team. This is a pretty special month for us. Can you believe STAMPlorations is already turning 6 years old?!?!?


This month we would normally be celebrating that amazingness, but with the unexpected passing of Shery's father we are postponing the partying for a bit.

Nevertheless, Shery has put together a giant selection of products in the store for a 6th Birthday Sale. Throughout the month of June, products in the 6th Birthday section are 30% off instantly + with my STAMPGIRLMARIA code, you actually get up to 50% off!

  
So I've used a couple products from that sale section today. Ready?

 STAMPlorations Prosit die
Altenew watercolors

I think June is a good time for blue skies and tropical drinks at the pool. Tequila Sunrise anyone?  Today's cardbase was first-generation stamped with Tumbled Glass DOX ink and an old multi-square rubber stamp I own. (It didn't really show the texture as I'd hoped so I second-generation stamped it and made this card you may have seen a few days ago.)

I wasn't sure about coloring over the DOX area. I heat embossed the cocktail and then using a wet brush tried to remove the blue color from within the glass image. Didn't work.

So instead I just watercolored over it. Used some white to tone down the blue at the top of the cocktail. Hope your brain sees the image and thinks "cocktail" without having to look too closely at it ;)

If you're interested, I've used the Prosit set in this post from our 4th Birthday too.

You could be one of 6 to win yourself a $25 GC to the store by leaving a comment on this month's inspiration posts. Check out today's post here. Thanks for looking.

You're my kind of card maker! I hate masking and often have these color issues on my cards, I'm quickly learning to embrace the imperfections. Thanks for sharing this colorful summer card.
