{Spotlight Project} Make Your Own Gelatin Plate with Cornelia

Hi, Cornelia here today, making a gelatin mono printing plate and of course a card. Did you ever want to play with a gelatin printing plate? I wanted to for a very long time, but always felt intimidated by the process. No more. I spent a fun afternoon with Jenny from Craft Test Dummies (we happen to live in the same town and recently met) and she cured me from my fear. In fact, I got so excited that I made my own plate and I am going to share that with you today.

BLOOMTANGLED Blog Hop & Linky Party with the STAMPlorations Girls

Hey, STAMPlorations friends! We're back with another fun hop and linky party. The STAMPlorations girls took out their favorite coloring mediums and colored a page from BLOOMTANGLED, our second coloring book for grownups -- specially created for creative cardmakers and crafters! Then they took the pages they colored and used it in projects. We hope you'll be inspired as you visit each designer's blog and read about the coloring mediums they used and how they created their projects.

Before we show you the projects, here are the prizes for blog hop and linky party participants:

• ONE (1) commenter randomly drawn from all comments left here on the blog and designers' blogs will win a $10 gift certificate
• ONE (1) participant randomly drawn from the linky party entries will win a copy of Bloomtangled and a $15 gift certificate to the STAMPlorations shop

So for a shot at the prizes:

• comment here and on the designers’ blogs
• participate in the linky party by downloading the Bloomtangled page sampler, creating a project out of it, and then linking it up on or before Tuesday, September 5. Winners will be announced on Sunday, September 10.

Ready to be inspired to color? Here you go!

Today I have something really bright and yummy for all of you :) When I saw the newest stamp club set Sweet Cravings, all that came to my head was something colorful. So here I am sharing my vision. I had so much fun with color blocking technique, the inking and masking is so much fun and once you have all the colors in place you really don't have to do much :)
