ARTplorations Blog Hop - Day 2


Welcome to Day 2 of the ARTplorations Blog Hop!  Today I've used the Bubbles stencil for my background, sponging Distress Inks through it, then I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Vignette: Retro Mod Shapes in black and drew stalks with a black Posca pen.  Mounted the panel onto a black card, and that's it, finito.


Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog to see the fabulous inspiration from the rest of the design team, but before you go, leave me a comment for a chance to win:

SIX (6) winners (2 winners per day) will receive their choice of ARTplorations stencil. Winners will be randomly drawn from all comments left on the designers' blogs.

THREE (3) winners will each win a $15 gift certificate. Winners will be randomly drawn from comments left on the STAMPlorations blog.
