Today, I'm excited to be sharing a Guest Designer project for Ellie's I Spy With My Little Eye Challenge, where the theme this month is:
'Hearts and/or Roses'
I hoped to combine 'Hearts and Roses', so picked a cute Penny Black hedgie stamp to use on my card called 'Park Bench Affair', that features a bunch of roses. I stamped it on to watercolour paper, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I paired it with papers from the 'Happy Watercolours' pad from The Works...using an old Sizzix 'Hearts' embossing folder to emboss the plain-ish pink paper. I lightly sanded over the raised embossing to reveal some of the white core, then distressed all of the edges, and added faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. I layered up a couple of old Prima Hydrangea flowers, and used an old BasicGrey brad to hols them in place. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp.
