I'm super duper pleased you have popped by this morning as today the countdown to the October Release starts, it's Happy Stampers Festival Day AND myself and Uniko are proud to be sponsoring the challenge over at "Less is More" this month - YAY!
Being the first challenge of the month, it's a colour challenge and it's all about Hot & Spicy colours. When I thought of these colours I thought of the Middle East designs and Marvellous Mehndi...
I used my MISTI to stamp the large mandala on both the square layer and base card in Stampin' Up! Poppy Parade ink and then over stamped them in VersaMark ink, to heat emboss them with clear EP. I then went in and selectively coloured the mandala on the top square only.
The sentiment is a peek at one from a NEW clear stamp set being introduced this week and will be available to purchase on Monday 16th October! I've embellished it with some smaller stamps from Marvellous Mehndi and my favourite Stampin' Up! enamel dots!
I hope I have inspired you to join in on the fun?!
I'll be back AGAIN soon with the first of the October Release Sneak Peeks!
Hugs
This is so beautiful, Bev! I love the way you raised your front panel and added colored details to it... Wonderful design!
ReplyDeleteOoh I love how you've overstamped the base card and the smaller square central card. Gorgeous! X
ReplyDeleteI love the raised panel and selective colouring on that fab mandala. The rich colours add great warmth too. I hope all goes well at HLS :)
ReplyDeleteHot, spicy and beautiful, Bev! The spotlight/highlight colouring on your mandala, paired with the raised panel design, adds such impact! Love this!
