Stampendous New Release Blog Hop


The Stampendous DT is sharing projects using new stamps.   The new release is now available in Stampendous store. 

When I saw the new Jumbo Cling Snowflakes I knew I wanted to use this sweet image of my daughter:
The picture is very dark but I love how it pops against white, gray and lavender colors.


The background has a light sprinkling of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Plum) to match her coat.

The snowflakes are stamped in gray with a hint of plum in the snowflake. I also added a touch of the Stampendous Crystal Ultra Fine glitter to the snowflakes.  The snowflakes are cut around the frame to fit the picture in the background.

I love the Altered Alphabet set for adding sentiments to my layouts.

My second project celebrates Halloween! The new release contains a variety of fun and vintage Halloween images. 

I started with the Steampunk Owl and stamped him on white cardstock.  I added a touch of color using watercolor pencils and waterbrush on the Owl. I sponged the edges with orange dye ink and then attached it to the front of a 7 Gypsies book cover.  Heat emboss the edges using Aged Gold Embossing Enamel.   I stamped the Halloween  from the  Halloween Sprite and heat embossed it using Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel.  After it cooled down I sponged over the embossing with  Tsukineko Purple StazOn ink. I added a hint of purple using the Aged Wine Embossing Enamel over the gold.

  24. You have such a great eye for colors. I would have been afraid to put the snowflakes on such a light background, but they jump off the page and just send your focus straight to the picture. The altered alphabet is perfect on the page as is the glitter. Then the halloween hanging is so great. I love your usage of the colored embossing enamels on the edges.
