Welcome to another Monday Montage blog hop! We are a group of ten stampers who love to share what we create with you, and all you have to do to follow along is click on the links at the bottom of each post.
Flamingos seem to be everywhere these days, and they always bring a smile to my face. How can a giant pink bird not make you happy? We’re in the heat of Summer here, and I wanted to use some cool, pretty colors. It seemed like they would work well with a tropical flamingo look, so this was an easy card to pull together.
I started by adding a watercolor wash of Pool Party ink on a piece of Watercolor Paper. After that dried, I splattered on some gold Wink of Stella and some Basic Black ink.
I stamped the flamingo with Flirty Flamingo ink, added a little Melon Mambo ink onto the wing with a blender pen, and colored its beak with a bit of black ink.
The sentiment was stamped with Peekaboo Peach ink, and the pineapple was stamped with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive inks. I punched out a circle of Pop of Pink Specialty dsp and placed it over some gold Metallic Thread.
You’re ready to hop on over to Breelin Renwick’s blog. I always love seeing what she makes! If you prefer to work your way backwards, you can jump back to Wendy Weixler’s blog. Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing!
Enjoy your Monday! Thanks for stopping by!
One of the things that I love about Summertime is fresh fruit! Cherries, strawberries, peaches, melons, you name it — I love it! So this cute Fresh Fruit stamp set was calling my name this week, as it definitely feels like Summer around here.
I thought this was a perfect sketch to show off some new dsp. Have you seen the new Moroccan dsp? I love the colors and patterns in this paper.
I stamped the image on watercolor paper and then used an aquapainter to apply some Daffodil Delight ink. After it was dry, I splattered some Dapper Denim ink, and used a Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker to color in the heart. It was mounted on a Dapper Denim card base, on which I stamped the image three times with Dapper Denim ink.
What a fun sketch, huh! I decided to ink up a fun new hostess set called Pun Intended. I do love a good pun, and the images in this set are really cute.
I needed to make a quick card for this one, so I pulled out a new kit that is available today, called the Oh Happy Day Card Kit. It has all kinds of great stuff in it to make 20 cards. Of course, I can’t be bothered to look at the simple instructions, so I just dove in and pulled out some of the elements that I like and thought would work with the sketch rather than making one of the fabulous card ideas provided in the kit. That’s one of the great things about these kits — they provide you with instructions on how to make great projects with the kit contents, or you can go rogue and make whatever you want.
