STAMPlorations inspiration #205

Welcome to another Tuesday inspiration from the STAMPlorations inspiration team where the team members feature stamps from one of our talented stamp designers.

Today we're showcasing Shery Russ stamps. Shery's designs are 10% off this week (with an extra 20% off when you use my discount code STAMPGIRLMARIA).

So this month I've challenged myself to incorporate stamps, dies and stencils on CAS cards. I'm also shooting for monochromatic. Well I didn't achieve the CAS today, but the rest. May I introduce my card? Think maybe I was on a caffeine high?!?

STAMPlorations Framed Coffee Word Art stamp

STAMPlorations Set of 5 Coffee Phrase die

STAMPlorations Art Splatters stencil

embossing paste

distress ink

I started by stamping the Word Art stamp four times on my cardbase. Then I added some embossing paste through three splatters with the stencil. I added some distress ink around those splatters to better define them, wiping most of it off the dried paste with a baby wipe. 

I die cut the coffee mug/steam four times from a background I'd created with shaving cream. Added a bit of shadow to them with a W3 Copic before adhering them with foam adhesive. Then I die cut and adhered the sentiment. A hot mess, eh?

For more inspiration with this versatile coffee die set, see this card.

marbled again

Maybe you saw my use of shaving cream marbled papers on these cards last week. As I was going through all my marbled specimens I came across two that reminded me of the Winnie and Walter logo colors, so I had to make a card with them for Taheerah's Gossip Column challenge.

The blue/greens were acrylic paints on glossy cardstock, the pink/yellow Distress Ink reinkers on normal cardstock. Both have a little touch of gold acrylic paint on them too - it adds a nice surprise to the marbling.

I used WW Hello to die cut the sentiment which I adhered atop a gray (also a nod to the WW colors) True Multifaceted Heart die cut. A little yellow star enamel sticker finished off my simple design.

I'm joining the Hello challenge at AAA Cards too. Hope your week is creative!
