[Spotlight Project} Monika Makes Frames From Artsy Tribal Doodles

Hello STAMPlorations Friends! Have you ever noticed that the larger stamps from the Artsy Tribal Doodles set could make some funky frames? With a bit of masking you can have endless fun framing Pets, Little Owls (to be released shortly), the cats from Purrfectly Pawsome and the little critters from Woodland Friends.

Here is my doggy card:

It's a sort of a second take. Initially I started off wanting to be all colourful and wonky with this card here.

{Spotlight Project} Maria's Easy Peasy Summer Card Design

Hello there STAMP friends!  I'm having lots of ink blending/stenciling fun this month on my blog, so decided to carry it over to my Spotlight projects too. However today's card kinda happened as a result of the card I'll share with you next time (which drove me bananas), and it uses no stencil at all! It's such a fun and easy design I want to share it with you first.

IMO, there's nothing better than rainbow colors with lots of white space and some stark black for  dramatic contrast. But you could do it monochromatically. Or with warm/cool colors only. This design is perfect for any of those cool Say it Big stamps from the store.

Hey! Looking for the July challenge? We're taking a summer break to re-charge and the STAMPlorations girls will be back in October. We're also revamping our challenges :o) Thank you to everyone who played last month. We'll announce the winners on July 10.

We don't want to completely stop the challenge for those of you who love making tags or adding tags to your projects. So for the next 3 months, you can keep playing and linking up your projects.
