We're having a blog hop and linky party at STAMPlorations to celebrate the launch of Shery's new Colour Blooms colouring book for mixed media and cardmaking. It's available here and it's filled with pages of blooms for you to colour and then add to your projects.
The page that I chose to work on is divided into four sections. I used Distress Inks as watercolours (well, what else did you expect from me?) then cut out the section to use on my card.
Having adhered the panel to my card, I stencilled some Cosmic Shimmer Gold Pearl texture paste through the ARTplorations Dots All Over stencil, and once that was dry I drew around the edge of the panel with a Neocolour II crayon, diluting it with a wet paintbrush.
To finish my card, I added a dragonfly from The Bee's Knees Winged Things that had been stamped onto spare inked card.
Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some fabulous inspiration from the team, leave comments and play along for loads of chances to win (there'll be a downloadable sampler on the STAMPlorations page so you can participate).
- ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from our Facebook page will win a $10 gift certificate for herself and a $10 gift certificate for one friend she tags in her comment
- ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from all comments left on the STAMP blog and designers' blogs will win a $10 gift certificate

And a dragonfly. Of course. The golden dots are a great addition.
