STAMPlorations fun

This has  been in the works for about 2 weeks:


Supplies and notes:
  • Vintage Bingo card coated with Teresa Collins modeling paste through a Tim Holtz Stripes stencil
  • White Linen Dylusions spray over the dried modeling paste, along with some water to thin it out and remove any harsh speckling
  • STAMPlorations marigold stamp inked with Ranger Archival in Jet Black on an old Nancy Drew (don't worry: it was being discarded because it was missing pages), then fussy-cut
  • The marigolds were sprayed with Postbox Red and Pure Sunshine Dylusions sprays 
  • The sentiment was typed on an old catalog card 
  • The greenery was cut with Tim's Mini Holiday Greens set out of some scrap paper. IRL, they are much more noticeable... in the pictures they are very subtle.
  • 7 Gypsies black masking tape added a little interest to the base-- I wrestled a long time (days) with what to mount the main panel on, but nothing looked right. I think I like it now.
I plan to share this at STAMPlorations for their November Theme/Sketch (I went with the theme):

I'll also add this to the STAMPlorations AG:

  4. I love the warm, vibrant colors you've used for the flowers. And the neutral colored background sure makes them pop. Pretty!

  5. Mimi, it's been way too long since I paid a visit! This morning I am (not even trying) to catch up with some of my favorite people I haven't visited in a while. I saw this card and had to come by to tell you I love your use of non traditional crafting supplies decorated so brilliantly! I love the texture you put on the bingo card, and those marigolds are gorgeous colored on Nancy Drew's pages! I love to use book pages on cards and you have done it perfectly here! Big hugs and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
