STAMPlorations special release - dee's artsy impressions

Today there are a couple new stamp sets being released over at STAMPlorations. They're from our own Deepti Malik and here's the Beautiful You set I got to play with today.


I test drove some new kids' markers I just picked up at Aldi to color those lovely silhouette stamps and made this one-layer card.

waterbased markers

You probably know the technique. Ink up the stamp by coloring its various parts with different colored markers, spritz with water and then stamp. Such a fun technique.


Then I used a similar design idea, but kept all the silhouettes black and added a spot of color with the die cut bird. I just love how that tiny "Hello" nestles in with the wildflowers.

Dee has a second new set out today (both new sets are 10% off til August 24). Visit the STAMPlorations blog to see more inspiration. By commenting here and there before August 22, you could possibly win yourself a prize! Thanks for coming by.

I'll have more makes with these tomorrow.

I'm hooking up at:
