SDC97: Trimmed Stamped Images

‘Don’t you just love all the details on Stampotique stamps? The best way to realize just how detailed they are is… by trimming them! And that’s our challenge this week: I’d like you to use (at least) 3 trimmed stamped images!

Up to you to use 3 times the same image or 3 different ones, to use them on a tag, a card, an altered object,… I hope you find this as relaxing as I do!

P.S.: sometimes you need to cheat a bit to get all the details. You can for instance cut off some details when trimming and make them visible again by stamping directly on your piece and sticking the trimmed image on top of the stamped image.’

First off I have to say there are so many that I wanted to choose. You made my job very hard to do. With that you all did an amazing job with mixing techniques and creative 3D projects. Congrats to all of you talented artists.

23 Kay Wallace

You did a great job keeping me entertained... I love the painted puddle under "Twinkie" with the hand drawn raindrops. Then to the sentiment... "Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness, has never danced in the rain." Well this just melted my heart.

32. Claudine C.

Claudine- you inspired me to pull out the Gelli Plate and Play & Play. I love the textures you were able to get and your colors are so much fun.

30. Heidi

Heidi- I just fell in love with your head flowers that just had me coming back for more. Truly Stampotique Style-!

Again- Thank you all for joining the SDC95 Challenge and I love seeing all your wonderful creations.

Please do me a favor and face the brilliance of your most wonderful creations and dwell on your dreams.

SDC95: April Showers bring May Flowers

Hello Sarinda here and I am hosting today's Stampotique Designer Challenge

"April Showers Bring May Flowers".

Springtime is in the air and I can feel it in my bones and on a cellular level. Excitement really. I am challenging you to create something Spring like. This conjures different images for each of us. It can be anything from rain, puddles, rainbows, clouds, mud puddles, boots, umbrella and a coat. You get my point. I hope you will have a fun, creative time with the challenge and I look forward to seeing all your wonderful creations. Happy Spring.

Much Love and Kindness.

Sarinda

SDC94: Flowers

The calendar "says" we are into springtime now..! A time for new life, new beginnings.. I love going for country walks at the weekends with my children at this time of the year.. (normally!!), it's wonderful seeing the lambs & new foals where we live and looking out for signs of Mother Nature doing her stuff.. I am wondering if she needs a little help this year.. what with the weather! I'd like to see everyone's blogs bursting with flowers!

Your blooms can be hand-made or stamped... I can't wait to see your projects!
