Hi peeps! Have you seen the new Watercolour ATC Journalling Cards - Ephemera in the store? Each and every one is fabulous in its own right. A few of them jumped out at me as backgrounds for coffee-themed ATCs. I really didn't want to do anything to the backgrounds so I concentrated on selecting images, colours and text to complement each one. All of the images were already in my stamped stash, so all four ATCs came together quite quickly.
Welcome to the STAMPlorations™ blog! We host monthly challenges for cardmakers, mixed media artists, and all kinds of papercrafters. We have a never-ending challenge exclusive to those who own STAMPlorations products. We spotlight projects by the design team, regularly publish tutorials, host fun blog hops, and announce new products. Our goal: encourage you to "stamp with all your ART!" through our challenges, inspiration projects, events, and products.
CHALLENGES: Theme & Photo Prompt | CAS Cards | Stencil | Never-Ending Anything Goes | Rules | WINNERS!
