August at Stamping Sensations

It is the first Sunday of the month and time for our August challenge at Stamping Sensations. This month we have a lovely theme....

********Anything goes using your current favourite stamp********

I always have great difficulty choosing a favourite stamp and it does tend to vary from week to week. My project this month features a new-to-me stamp from our sponsor, Rubber Dance. I love Hedgehogs and this little guy was a must as soon as I saw him! He is called Handsome Hedgehog and is available here. The base card was coloured with Distress Oxides through stencils from Bee Crafty.

Even though it is an easy theme, we need you to play by the rules:

Please can I remind you we are a stamping challenge so must see a stamped image which reflects the theme as the focal element of your artwork , this means:

Stamping must be the central point of attention and interest

 We are pleased to welcome Rubber Dance as our brand new sponsor this month, with a fabulous £25 store voucher for our lucky winner. There are some wonderful stamps on the website, and I will definitely be purchasing more!
Do pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at the fabulous creations from my talented team mates, many featuring Rubber Dance stamps!
Thanks for looking, and I look forward to seeing your entries.

March at Stamping Sensations

Good morning, It's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month we are looking for

********Woodland Friends********

As the title suggest we would love to see your creations featuring any creatures that live in the woods. It could be mammals, birds, insects or invertebrates!

My first Card this month was made with Lavinia stamps. I created the background with inkylicious ink dusters and distress inks.

My second Card was one I made as a commission for Creative Stamping Magazine. More details can be found in Issue 51 (along with the stamps I used)

Please can we remind you we are a stamping challenge so must see a stamped image as the focal element of your artwork, not just a stamped sentiment or stamping in the background, this means:

Stamping must be the central point of attention and interest 

Our sponsors this month are Tattered Lace and they have donated this lovely prize!
