The sponsor of this week's Etsy Inspired Challenge is Bugaboo Stamps & I used their Violet Girl Digital Image for my design. It is inspired by the Etsy Shop of Becky Kazana and her LuLu the Lighthearted Pipette.
I figured out how to digitally paper piece my image using clipping masks in Photo Shop Elements. I used my magic wand tool and chose each section I wanted to be yellow, and then right-clicked my mouse to create a copy layer. Next I dragged my yellow digital paper over the copied layer and CTRL-G to make a clipping make ... voila. I have a link to Kristina Werner's video on clipping masks in my blog post. It's a super-fun way to combine your digital stamps and papers.
I printed the image a second time slightly smaller and cut out one of the flowers from her hat to make an embellishment for my sentiment. I added pearl centers to the flowers & a little sparkle chalk blush to her cheeks to finish my design.
Remember, next week is the 100th Etsy Inspired Challenge with lots of prizes including a 100-item grand prize package.
