Welcome to Day 2 of the ARTplorations Blog Hop. Did you enjoy all that fabulous inspiration yesterday? We've got another feast for the eyes today.
I've used the Dots All Over stencil on my background, inking it with Distress Inks, spritzing then laying the inked side down onto my card panel. Love that technique! I sponged the edges of the panel with Pickled Raspberry to define the edges.
I stamped three flowers (Dee's Blooming Buds), sloshed on some colour then fussy cut them and arranged them on the card panel, cutting the stem of the back flower. Wrapped a bit of purple jute around the panel, then adhered it all to the card base, and added a bit of dotty washi tape to echo the dotty stencil pattern. The sentiment is from Fond Expressions.
Hop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for more fabulous inspiration, and leave a comment here and on the main blog for a chance to win:
