As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:
Prize - a $20 voucher!
I went 'Spring', and have a used an old Penny Black daffodil stamp called 'Jonquil' that I bought recently in a charity shop...in fact it was buy one get one free on the woodmounted stamps, and I got this one for free when I bought another Penny Black stamp...'Everest Next?'...what a bargain!
I stamped it on to watercolour paper using the watercolour technique...I inked it up with several Distress Inks (Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Forest Moss and Mowed Lawn), then spritzed it with a little water before stamping. I added a sentiment (from the 'Go To Words' set by Visible Image), distressed the edges a little, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen, before attaching the panel to my kraft card blank.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- CCEE Stampers - Floral Arrangement
- Crafty Catz - Anything Goes (Optional 'Flowers')
- Crafty Creations - Anything Goes
- Happy Little Stampers (Watercolour) - Anything Goes (Optional 'Flowers')
- Penny Black & More - Spring Flowers
- Stamping Sensations - Spring Florals
