PE: Winner at Addicted to Stamps & More!! Yay!!
Hello and welcome! It’s already the 10th month of the year!! And we have yet another challenge at Seize the Birthday to up the count on your birthday card stash. This time it’s Shirley’s turn to be our leading lady and she has chosen the Topping as ‘Splish Splash‘. Of course, as always, the ‘Anything Goes‘ option is available in case you want to skip the topping.
And here’s what I made –
I started with a panel of Fabriano Accademia Disegno Drawing paper, stamped images from My Favorite Things Piggy Pebbles and Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Blossoms and then colored the whole scene using Faber Castell Pastel color pencils. Once done, I sprayed it with Winsor & Newton fixtative, so the color wouldn’t spread.
I then adhered it over a beige cardbase. For the sentiment, I used My Favorite Things Well, Hello stamp set. I stamped them over white cardstock, trimmed it and adhered a couple of scrap cardstock beneath them for some extra dimension before adhering it to the card.
I hope you liked my inspiration. I’m also joining these challenges:
