This is for WT264 to use a child in our project. I believe Stampavie has the cutest children images that I have seen. Sarah Kay, Gillian Roberts, Penny Johnson, Mo Manning.....who could ask for more. I chose to play with Gillian's Looking at You image. I think she is so cute sitting there looking at the butterfly on her toe. I wanted to highlight the image by popping it up on a cut out frame and placing her over a background scene. I love the way it looks. I know these colors are sort of bright for a girl but the blue and orange just called to me.
I stamped the image on watercolor paper, painted and then cut around it with a craft knife and snips. I filled in the scenery by handpainting the trees with brushes and creating the scene with sponges and brushes. I used mounting tape to mount to the front layer of the card.
