STAMPlorations Birthday Blog Hop - Day 1


It's Party Time!  We're celebrating STAMPlorations' 2nd birthday with a blog hop and some fabulous new party stamps.


We've got Party Mates designed by Deepti, Party Times designed by Shery, and PartyGirl designed by me!

I've used all three sets for today's card.  PartyGirl is designed so that you can have a front view or a rear view, the dress works for either.  She's ready for a night on the town in her little black dress and fishnets.  Probably not what Coco Chanel had in mind, but there you go.

I masked off a narrow border around the card, then stamped the PartyGirl images.  I usually position the dress and legs on the card for placement, making sure there's enough head room, then stamp the dress first, then the shoulders/arms, then the head, and finally the legs because it's easier to line them up last once the upper body is in place.

I stamped the Party Mates images in Versafine Smoky Grey, and the sentiment from Party Times in red.  I used a Black Soot wash for the image, and added a light sponging of Black Soot around the border.  A touch of ruby glitter around her waist and bustline, and red soles for her Louboutins, and she's ready for off!

Our Guest Designer today is none other than Amy Tsuruta of Tsuruta Designs!  Check out what Amy and the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all birthday blog hop projects here.
