SDC265: Favorite Stamp

Getting back into the swing of things, I have another DT offering for you. 

This time, it's for the new challenge at Stampotique Designer's Challenge.

The new theme is to create a project using your favorite Stampotique stamp.

Now asking me to choose my very favorite stamp from Stampotique

 is like asking me to choose a favorite child or pet. It is virtually impossible

to choose just one. I used four Stampotique stamps for this project.

I began with an all-time favorite Torrente girl, Perl #6071.

Perl is awesome enough all by herself, but I added another

favorite stamp, the Bat Like Wings #6131 to make her even more

sinister and devilish. These wings have that effect on nearly everyone... 

After fussy cutting Perl and her wings, I glued them to her and 

mounted her onto a background I made using Color Burst powders. 

I also used the great Altered Curiosities #7244, but broke it up

to fit the background. I outlined it with a white pen to help it

show up a bit better.

    

Lastly, I used the Circled Circle #10038 image with white embossing powder

on a black card base. I also splattered various Lindy's sprays and white Dylusions 

to add more interest to the base layer.

Such a fun project!

Hope you're  inspired to play along, or at leat drop by the 

Stampotique Designer's Challenge blog to see all the magnificent

eye candy/inspiration.    

I'm so late, I'm early!

It seems like just when I finally get into the full swing of a holiday,

it ends. And then I'm left with all these great ideas and tons of timely 

crap strewn around my craft room, but the special day has come and gone. 

Screw it! I'm making schtuff for next year. 

Hey, look at me! I'm way ahead of schedule! 

This is perfect for Valentine's Day 2017, or an

anniversary. My 20th wedding anniversary is in August.

Check me out, all early and shit.

 I started out with a white card that I stamped the Stampotique hearts 

background onto, and then colored using a water pen and distress inks. 

I splattered some black speckles on it for an artsy feel. 

Awww, look at the sweethearts!!

I chopped off the heads of Fofe and Perl from Stampotique,

and then I colored them with Copic markers.

I added some Stickles to make Fofe's green eyes sparkle,

then added the colored heads to some distressed photo booth photos 

from Tim Holtz.

I stamped the heart background onto some scrap pink and red paper,

cut them out and then popped them up on foam dots for some

fun dimension.

Sometimes I like to just color. I can sit for hours and color

image after image. This is one I have had printed for months,

but never had the time to color it properly. Until now. 

This image is named Abby, by Regan Kubecek. I purchased her

along with some others from Sweet Peas stamps before they

unfortunately closed shop.  

I colored her using Copics, and white gel pen for the highlights.

I broke out the heart embossing folder, a black doily with silver distress ink

splattered on it, and the skull and crossbones punch from Martha Stewart.

I decided to stop there, as I have a tendency to over work a piece to death.

Less is more. Less is more. Less is .... look, glitter!
