STAMPlorations Inspiration #116 - Shery Russ Designs

It's Inspiration Tuesday at STAMPlorations, and this week we're featuring Shery Russ Designs, the stamps made by Shery, the creator of STAMPlorations.  There's 10% off all her range this week, with 20% off Oh So Grateful stamps and coordinating die set - no coupon needed.

I've used the frame and a flower from Floral Bliss, and a sentiment from Blossom Overture.  I found a panel in my stash that just had gold paint on it.  I'm pretty sure it's Tarnished Brass Distress Paint, and I can't remember if I used a mini brayer or credit card, but either way, it was smeared onto the card.  I dipped and smooshed the card in Distress Inks (Aged Mahogany, Pickled Raspberry, Fossilised Amber, Frayed Burlap).  The gold paint resists the ink.  I coloured the flower with Distress Ink, and again the paint resisted the ink, giving a nice mottled appearance to the flower.

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the Design Team, and don't forget to leave a comment there for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate.
