STAMPlorations Third Birthday Blog Hop - Day 1


STAMPlorations is three years old, and we're having a party with prizes!  Deepti has created this gorgeous birthday stamp set, called Kathryn's Big Wishes, just for the occasion.


I stamped the images in Antique Linen (apart from the string which was stamped in Versafine Smoky Grey) and then watercoloured using Distress Inks.  I couldn't resist of few splatters ;)

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog to see some more fabulous inspiration from the team, and if you comment, share, like, and/or link up here's what you could win:

PRIZES

Prizes for liking, commenting, sharing, and tagging a friend on the STAMPlorations Facebook page post:

Prizes for creating and linking up a party/celebration/birthday project:
  • ONE (1) winner of Kathryn’s Big Wishes stamp set

    What an adorable image!!! Love her plaid dress and LOVE how you colored her hair - it looks as good as a photo! I'd have to pay my hairdresser big $$$ to get highlights like that!

    Is there anything you CAN'T do? (I'm going to just take a stab and give that question a big NO). Love your no-line coloring here and the adorable little cheeks you gave her.

    Oh my stars...how amazing and darling your Kathryn is, with her big, colourful balloon! Her hair, her outfit, hew sweet rosy cheeks...iin LOVE! Have to add: I *have* to say: I'm soooo stoked that die-cuts are joining the STAMPlorations line-up..perfect for my die-cutting obsession! Just wish Canada Post wasn't threatening a strike! How am I going to get some of those gems to my place fast? Maybe the strike won't happen...fingers crossed!
