STAMPlorations August Challenge

Afternoon peeps and welcome to a post to announcethe start of a new monthly challenge over at STAMPlorations.

Here is a little inspiration to get you wondering what the theme and sketch will be!

This month these are our sketch and theme.

           

My card is based on the sketch but also matches the theme as well in a small way as I used a fine line marker to outline the single rose from ARTplorations Old Rose Prints.

I started with a piece of watercolour paper and inked through my  ARTplorations Dots all Over stencil with Versamark, then embossed with white WOW EP. Still in inky mode, t.in the petals.When dry I applied a fussy cut rose mask and added a circle mask made by cutting a circle from a Post It. I then added some white ink to the space from a pigment pad, then outlined the rose with my fine line marker.

The sentiment happy from Sentiment Builders Happy was stamped and embossed in black and the birthday from the Celebrate set in just plain black ink. An embossed line around the edge of the panel and a few sparkly bits were added to complete.

OK, please check out our fab GDs Kathy Schweinfurth and CG, the rest of the DT for more inspiration and all Ts and Cs here.
