STAMPlorations inspiration #302

Welcome to a new Tuesday inspiration posts from the STAMPlorations inspiration team girls. 

Remember this tissue box? Rescued from the trash to inspire my cards this month...

Meet my next project to illustrate easy ways to add color to B/W stamping.

 Bloom Sketches stamp

 Layered Snowman stamp

Stamp Market inks

Know how sometimes it's gotta happen quick? Like, the card needs to be in the mail yesterday? No coloring possible. Here's another easy idea. I took it up one notch by heat embossing the black stamping.

Stamp some color using the reverse of a larger stamp (I used the great organic ovals of a snowman) and then do the black stamping over it. And this time I did stamp outline blooms all over the card like my inspiration tissue box ;)

I'm feeling a need to put sentiments in unexpected places lately. Hope you likey.

Note: My bad. It appears this stamp set is only available as a digital stamp now. But you'd get a similar look with The Birds and Blooms or Pocket Blooms.
