I made this card for yesterdayÂ’s Featured Stamper (FS192) and todayÂ’s Technique LoverÂ’s Challenge (TLC294). For the FS challenge, I chose JennÂ’s CAS Trees . I kept the 3 repeated images and horizontal layout, but used different images and offset them slightly. I also changed the colors. For the TLC challenge, I used damp water color paper but instead of stamping with ink, I scribbled water color crayons directly onto the stamp, misted it, then stamped onto the w/c paper.
All images are Innovative Stamp Creations . After I colored, misted and stamped the sunflower block & individual sunflower 3 times, I used a lt brown gel pen to add a little definition and cross hatching to the images. I used deckle scissors to cut out the blocks and attached them to a piece of turquoise card stock. I stamped the greeting in the lower right then used a white gel pen to highlight and a dk orange pen to shadow the letters. ItÂ’s attached to a white, 5.5 x 4.25 (A2) card.
The sunflowers were added and a cut out butterfly. I made 3 faux brads and attached them to the lower right card front.
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
