In addition to loving Stampendous stamps, glitters and embossing powders, I LOVE CHALLENGES. This is the weekly CASE Study. Each month at CASE Study, there is a Muse and participants CASE their creations. You can view the Muse’s creation by clicking on this link.

I will also be throwing this little guy into the Paper Craft Magazine Color Inspiration Challenge. Here are the cool colors..

Color Inspiration Challenges

To create this card I used Stampendous Tweet Friends

and Stampendous Geo Bubbles

This card was easy peasy to make…some paper cutting, some stamping, some coloring…put it all together. I loved how fun it turned out and I will be giving this little cutie to my friend Mandy!!

Paper: Petty Cash Bling, Candlelight, Mango and Caribbean Breeze (Bazzill Basics Paper)

Stampendous-Saturday-72311

For this card I used the super cool Stampendous Cling Jumbo Water Lily set

Really everyone…this card was also sooo easy. I colored the background with Copic Markers and an exaggerated feathering technique. Once I had the desired color, I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder. The Water Lily was stamped twice, cut out and one of the Lilies colored with Copic Markers and using a more controlled feathering technique. Once I had finished coloring, I rolled the edges of the flower petals with a pencil to give some dimension. I adhered the two flowers together with dimensionals and applied it to the colored back ground card base.

Supplies:

Paper: Bazzill Basics Paper

Stamps: Cling Jumbo Water Lily (Stampendous)

Ink: Tuxedo Memento Black, Versamark (Tsukineko); YR00, YR02, YR04, Y11, Y15, Y18, BG000, B02 Sketch, Spica Gold(Copic Markers)

Extras: Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder (Stampendous)

Here is the complete set…

Here is another quickie project that I made using this set…

Stampendous!CandleJar

This simple candle was decorated with Alcohol Inked sticky glitter sheets. After I applied alcohol ink, I then stamped on the glitter paper with Stazon. I applied some Stampendous Class A Peels to acetate and applied them to the outside. All done, that simple.

Ok…so here’s the deal. Leave me a comment and tell me which of the three stamps you like best. If your number is drawn, you get that Stampendous Stamp set. DON’T FORGET….YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHICH STAMP SET YOU LIKE BEST OR I WILL DRAW ANOTHER COMMENTOR!!!

Please take the time to check out my Stampendous Design Team sister’s Cyndi Bundy, Taylor Usry and Wendy Price. The are ALL giving away Stampendous stamps today also!!

Have a great weekend!! Hopefully you’ll get some stamping time in!!!
