STAMPlorations Love Theme

Here is my entry for the STAMPlorations 

Love/Spring theme linky party 

with some wonderful free downloads.

You see all the different images below that you can choose from.

And yes....there even is a coffee image and I did not

pick it this time!

For my cupcake card, I started out with the background

of this card with the direct to paper technique

with pink worn lipstick oxide distress ink.

Just add some ink on your craft sheet a few

drops of water and pick this up with you paper.

I dried it with my heat gun.

Next I used two different Tim Holtz stencils.

The heart stencil with the same worn lipstick 

oxide distress ink and the alphabet stencil with

brushed corduroy oxide distress ink.

Then I colored the printed image I downloaded

from the STAMPlorations site. I used

blending markers to color the rose and the cupcake.

The background is colored with the worn lipstick 

oxide ink. After  finishing the coloring and 

matting the image, I added some string and 

sticky pearls to finish the card.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
