Hi Everyone,
It’s Saturday (yay!) and time for another Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge and honestly…. I really do love their sketches. Please visit their blog to get more info and to link up your card.
This stamp is one of Hero Arts new wood stamps and I didn’t love it but, purchased the stamp any way. Now that I have used it and colored it I LOVE IT! First I colored the background with blue (Boo) and scribble colored the flowers (RV06)with abandon because I knew I would be adding cut flowers on top . I just need to stay in the lines but, didn’t need to color perfectly or evenly (I added some distress ink in the center of the flowers to insure that there isn’t any white peeking out). Then I stamped the flowers again and cut on the inner flower (not following the outside edges of the flower) . I pulled out some ranger inks and distressed the flowers for my color and curled up the edges of the flowers. The orange paper is Poppy from HA and I stamped the feather grass with Poppy chalk ink before adding my stitching and layers.
Ranger: Rusty Hinge, Firebrick Red & Worn Lipstick
