Welcome to day six of stamping inspiration and giveaways!
For seven days I will be giving away one of my brand new stamp sets from Canadian stamp manufacturer, Stamping Bella! All of the stamps are specifically aimed at art journaling. Of course you can use them for lots of different things, but my intention in creating them was for you to use them when you art journal! If you'd like to win today's featured stamp, leave a comment answering the question of the day (find it at the end of this post). You must answer the question of the day if you want to win! On Thursday, May 12, I will post all seven winners!
And, of course, if you want to buy any of the featured stamps, you can find them all here.
Today's featured stamp set is "Julie's Spring Butterflies."
Three hand drawn butterflies. With so many butterflies on the market, how are these babies unique? Well, I wanted to make them colorable -- meaning strong lines that allow you to color them in -- and customizable.
Markers:
Glaze Pens:
Watercolor:
You can also embellish them with extra doodles and really make them your own:
Because they're hand drawn it's so easy to add your own doodles in a really seamless way!
And here's an idea that I *love* and adore: art journaling tag!
You can see that I stamped the butterflies, added watercolor paints, added glitter, and then stamped my journaling prompts (coming tomorrow!) and wrote my journaling.
And now here's a video of me playing with butterflies in my art journal:
