{Mixed Media Tutorial} Playing With Stencils, Distress Inks and Micro Glaze by Lynne

Hello everyone!  Today I am here with my last tutorial post for the STAMPlorations mixed media design team this year. Before I get started I just want to say that it has been a wonderful two years working with these products and being supported by my warm and caring and very talented teammates. And, although I am leaving the design team to spend more time on my art career, I will continue to use my STAMPlorations products in new and creative ways which of course I will continue to share with all of you on my own blog.

So for this final tutorial post I am sharing how you can create fantastic backgrounds using ARTplorations Stencils, Ranger Distress Inks and Micro Glaze... three products that go together like peanut butter, honey and bananas.  And as usual for me, this is going to be a very photo-heavy post, so get nice and comfy so you can enjoy the scroll through all my process photos... Smile.

Hi everyone! I am back this month to share with you another project I created using the stamp set For the Birds. My design for this card came to me after reading the Faith sentiment from this stamp set. Within the sentiment it says "the bird that feels the light" and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

{Spotlight Project} Maria Makes an Easy Shaker

Hi STAMPlorations peeps! Maybe you saw the fun shaker card I created recently? Thought I'd share how I made it. I think the design is just plain fun, and with these stamps you could even use this design for an out-of-the-ordinary graduation card. And the bonus... you use up one of those backgrounds you made for fun but then don't know what to do with it ;)

So for the CUTplorations challenge, it's easy peasy. Show us your winged-themed projects using at least one die cut! Create any type of project (cards, ATCs, layouts, or whatever you want) as long as it's got at least one die cut and something with wings on it!

The DT has used STAMPlorations products today, but players (you!) don't have to. Use whatever you have in your stash...although we are always tickled pink when we see our products in projects entered in our challenges!
