STAMPlorations May CUTplorations Challenge



Welcome to May and a new STAMPlorations CUTplorations Challenge!


Here's the challenge scoop:
  • You can link up as many projects as you want (1 project per blog post)
  • You must use at least 1 STAMPlorations product (stamp, stencil, die, or coloring page, or grab a FREE STAMPloration digi stamp)
  • To qualify for the prize, players must display challenge graphic and link back to the challenge post (blogs only)
Prizes: $15 GC for the winner (voted by the team); $5 GC to three (3) randomly picked players.


For my card, I layered a dark brown cardstock onto the card base.  I then created a background using Distress Oxide Antique Linen and STAMPlorations Weaving stencil.  This beautiful cup die is part of the Zen Coffee Cup Layering Dies set which first cut the solid cup die from gold cardstock, cut one of the decorative cup dies from dark brown cardstock as the 'frame' and then  'colored' in using the inlaid die technique with several colors of cardstock.

To finish, I cut bright blue cardstock using the Rise & Grind Phrase Die and added a few gold sequins. 






Looking forward to seeing what you create for this month's challenge!
