'Tis the Season

Greetings! It is time, once again, for another challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge! The theme this month is entitled 'Tis the Season. Its up to you to choose, autumn or winter for your creation! I hope you will stop over to see the absolutely gorgeous creations by the rest of the Design Team and then be inspired to create a project of your own to share with us.  Remember, we are a stamping challenge, so stamping most be the focal point of your creation.  One lucky participant will earn a gift voucher for $20 from our gracious sponsor, Flonzcraft. 

For my own creation, I worked with a new to me set of images from De Stempelwinkel, plate 178.  I decided to keep the panel pristine and stamp directly onto it with StazOn Ink in Midnight Blue. I added a piece of torn paper to the bottom of the panel for dimension and texture and added some stars in varying sizes to give the illusion of the skaters dancing under the stars.  Fond memories, as a child of skating at nightime! Thanks for stopping by. We hope you join in at FSC.

Best, Yvonne

Not All Who Wonder Are Lost!

Greetings! It is wonderful to be back again after a hiatus at Inkspiration! I am so fortunate to create on a team that empathizes when you have setbacks in life.  The new challenge is a color challenge! This time its all about Navy and Mint! I love blue and green together!

I hope you will pop on over to Inkspiration to check out all the design team samples and then share your own inspired creation with us. 

For my own piece, I began by selecting images from a beautiful set of stamps by De Stempelwinkel . I water colored a background panel with blue and mint water colors and then stamped the images with navy blue ink onto tissue paper and adhered them to the panel, which was double matted and applied to a white card base.

Thank you so much for dropping by.  Happy stamping!
