Take It Make It Blog Challenge: Winners Profile

Hello!

Welcome to our Winners Profile, showcasing the Design Winner of our last Blog Challenge!

The very talented Design Winner of our 2016 challenge is

Cornelia Wenokor

 From: https://fun-stamping.blogspot.co.uk/

Cornelia won the challenge with this amazing card! We loved the bright bold colour, and the striking bird image, so much fun!

 We asked  Cornelia a few questions all about stamping (well, we are Craft Stamper after all!)

Q: How long have you been a stamper, and how did you get started?

A: I really got hooked on stamping somewhere late in 2012 - my sister did that to me….

Q: What are your favourite kinds of stamps, and do you have a favourite stamp company?

A: I love stamps that can be combined well, especially geometric type builder stamps. I also love any kind of bird stamps - have to have them all. As for a company - I love them all, as long as they make stamps I like. I don’t discriminate here ;)

 

Q: Describe your style, are you a messy kind of stamper or a more ‘clean and simple’ kind of person?

A: Definitely leaning towards CAS, although I step out of my comfort zone every once in a while. Messy is not my thing (except for my craft room) - the messiest thing I do is splattering, but that I do liberally!

Q:What kind of projects do you like creating the most?

A: Cards, of course!

Q: Apart from stamps, what is the one product you wouldn’t be without when you craft?

A: One product only???? Well in that case it's going to be stencils.

We also asked Cornelia to show us a couple of her favourite stamped creations,  and share why she likes them so much. Here are the gorgeous projects she has chosen:

 "I got inspired to make this card by a challenge picture. I first sponged the background. Then I taped the stencil (iStencil) down and sponged in a darker shade again.  I applied clear embossing paste and let it dry over night. I went back and did some additional sponging in areas to get the darker background colors. (Hope that was clear). I had not anybody seen doing this “double stenciling”, so I feel like I invented that 'technique' " -Cornelia

"I had some leftover panels after I had experimented with alcohol inks, spritzing them onto the stamped butterflies (STAMPlorations). It did not quite come out to my liking, but it was too pretty to throw out. So I punched the squares with the butterflies in them. I used an iStencil to make the background in matching colours" -Cornelia

Congratulations Cornelia on being our May Design Winner, and it was lovely to learn a little more about you!
