Christmas with STAMPlorations

 Hi there.  .... Today I'm sharing my card for  Die Cut Divas...  

We have a new sponsor - STAMPlorations 

Today I'm using a Digital stamp from the Holiday Lattes set 

I printed the coffee cup onto white card and used  Gina K Master Layouts die to cut it out and the matching matting layer as well as the patterned paper and it's matting layer. The image was coloured with Prisma pencils and some Gamsol.  Added a touch of Wink of Stella Gold to the berries and the lid.   For the sentiment I used a Scrapbook.com die that was a freebie with a recent order.  I cut it three times and layer for dimension.    

Stamping, sponging and stenciling.........

Still not well and after spending most of the afternoon sleeping I tried out a card using stamps, a stencil and some sponging.  STAMPloration is having a challenge that is Stamping and Stenciling and one of the design team's card (Sari) inspired me

I started by using small stamps from a Hero Arts set and distress inks and stamped them randomly through the stencil (Hero Arts Birds and Leaves) then used the distress inks with sponge daubers to colour the stencil.    Finished with an embossed sentiment from the HA set on the vellum.
