STAMPlorations release - leafy

There's a new release in town. Over at the STAMPlorations shop. Have you seen it?

We're inspiring you today with Leafy, another beautiful botanical from Dee's Artsy Impressions.

I wanted to incorporate a mix of those outline and solid images on my first creation.

Leafy stamp

Manila Tags die

Altenew inks

Using my MISTI, I stamped my cardbase in dark, another panel in middle and yet another panel in light blue ink. I die cut the tags from the middle and light blue panels, inked their edges and adhered them to my cardbase with foam adhesive. Added a heat embossed sentiment snippet and twine.

Come back on Friday to see what I did with those panels leftover after I die cut the tags ;)

For my second card I revisited a design on which I recently used another of Dee's sets.

Distress inks - Chipped Sapphire

So easy. On dark blue cardstock, stamp the images around the card edges. Heat emboss them. Lightly apply some dark blue ink around the outside edges only. This creates the halo effect around the sentiment in the middle.

Hope you enjoy today's post. Be sure to check out all the DT's creations over at the STAMP blog. And leave comments, there are prizes to be won - a $20 gift code and a stamp set from the release.

In addition, the four new stamp sets being released are 10% off automatically until February 19. If you use my STAMPGIRLMARIA designers' code you'll get an extra 20% off too!
