STAMPlorations products Gwendolyn used:
Hummingbird - Large, Thanks word die, Happy Flowers stencil, Be Thankful, Words of Gratitude, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies
I did a no-line watercolouring on the hummingbird in a loose way to try and create movement especially in the wings.
*****
To create a translucent look to the clear paste, I added just a drop of different alcohol ink before brushing it through the Happy Flowers stencil.
*****
I used my Spectrum Noir Illustrator alcohol markers on the image...
...to create an autumn harvest scene.

RENEE HAMILTON
STAMPlorations products Renee used:
Colouring with Copics on the stamp.
Copic Markers and a bit of embossing thrown in makes for a wonderful blend.
*****
First layer of painting with distressed inks.
The circles now look 3D and words from the stamp set "Imagine" have been added.
*****
Rainbow colouring against white embossing with the stamp.
A bit of colour in the background further enhances the white embossed rainbow coloured image.
Such a bright card with a bit of glittery vellum sentiment added in.
*****
VINITA JAIN
STAMPlorations products Vinita used:
New Beginning, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies, Be Jolly phrase die, Christmas Reindeer stencil, Merry Go Round stencil, Flutter Zen 1 layering dies, Trendy Butterflies 2
Watercolored with Zig clean clear real brushes...
and created a bright sunshine card.
*****
Dry embossed with Merry Go Round stencil and watercoloring the raised area using Faber Castell watercolor pencils.
Pink winter fun with glittered deer!
*****
Heat embossed the butterfly in metallic silver EP and colored with Polychromos.
Butterfly card with dimension, partial die cutting and shaker fun!
