STAMPlorations Birthday Blog Hop!


 
STAMPlorations turns a year old this month and we're celebrating with a blog hop!
We're also releasing the new stamps for July so it's a double celebration.

 The other STAMPlorations girls and I are sharing projects we created that feature the new stamps. And we've got 5 talented card-makers celebrating with us too! Visit all the stops on the hop and leave a comment for a chance to win stamps. We're giving away over $120 worth of stamps!

FOURTEEN (14) lucky hoppers randomly drawn from the designers' blogs will each win a stamp set and ONE (1) lucky hopper randomly drawn from the STAMPlorations blog will win all the stamps in the July release. You have until Wednesday, July 2, 11:55 p.m. PDT (GMT -700) to comment here and on my fellow designers' posts for a chance to win. Winners will be announced on the STAMPlorations blog on Sunday, July 6.

And here is my card...
I used the yummy CUPCAKE Stamp.. I just love this stamp, isn't it FABULOUS... and did a little watercolouring on the stamped images.
The sentiment is from the Simple Gift Stamp.
I have long admired fellow DT girl Shirley-bee and the way she does splotchy water colouring and have been itching to give this go- so this is my take on her technique... Thanks for inspiration Shirley.
I used gesso thru a Memory Box stencil and while still wet added some ultra fine glitter.... followed by some bling, candle dies. I stamped the sentiment with a Adirondack grey ink.
 
To check out all the NEW STAMPS at STAMPlorations I have included the link to take you directly there...HERE...
 
The prize being offered on my blog  for one lucky commenter is the Fabulous... 
Trendy Feathers
 
 
Ok off you go, here is a list of the Stops on the Hop....

    I'm going to try leaving more white space instead of border-to-border coloring - I love the effect you created on the cupcakes.
