Hi guys!
The September Challenge at STAMPlorarions is Stamps and Markers. I use Copics all the time so choosing them would have felt a bit too obvious... So I played with some old Aquamarker pens that I have. The STAMPlorations DT never fails to inspire so be sure to check out everyone's projects. This time our guest designer is the very talented Chris whose Flickr gallery you can check out here.
My card is influenced by this card by my DT friend Monika. After seeing it I was sure I wanted to use the brush stroke stamp (from Celebrate Artsy) in a same way and I chose to pair it with flowers from Bloom Sketches and a sentiment from Boxed Blooms. My twist to Monika's design is that instead of stamping I heat embossed the flowers with white. The brushstrokes are stamped with the aquamarkers and I've added more color to the flowers with the markers, water and a small paintbrush. In other words, believe it or not, I've been water coloring! :) I also heat embossed the sentiment and added a couple of pearls. I hope you like my CASE, Monika!
