The May Challenge at STAMPlorations is "Stamps and Flowers". Those of you who visit my blog often know this was an easy peasy for me: I LOVE flower stamps! I decided to make something new and remembered a dress template I've got for free with a crafting magazine -there's many templates available for free online too. It was very fun to stamp "the fabrics" and embellish the dress with some ribbons and a flower. The STAMPlorations design team has made stunning samples for your inspiration so do check them out. We also have a talented guest designer Sue joining us this month. Welcome to STAMPlorations, Sue! :)
The stamps I used in my project are VIGNETTE: Chevron and Arrows, VIGNETTE: Eclectic Florals, and SUBWAY ART BUILDERS: Dare. The Dare set (along with 4 other new sets) is released in May and we are actually celebrating the release with a small blog hop next week -follow STAMPlorations Blog so you won't miss it!
As every month, there are 3 challenges at STAMPlorations in May. If you play along in all three you won't only have a chance for the prizes in every challenge but a chance to win the monthly prize pack too... In May it looks right this:
