I was so excited to try my first digital stamp from Pickled Potpourri Designs, which is the digital side of Red Rubber Designs! It was super fast and easy to print out the Water Lily stamp onto white cardstock, and lots of fun to color it in with Distress Inks and some sparkle with Wink of Stella. To the water background I added Eucalyptus Stickles for even more sparkle!
My design inspiration came from this beautiful sketch #5 used for this month's Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com.
My design inspiration came from this beautiful sketch #5 used for this month's Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com.
The wood strips and background were created with gesso, sprays, paints, and stencils. Then I followed some of the lines of the grid with my sewing machine. To the main image I hand-stitched a circle, adding some ribbon and green fiber along the bottom.
Then I added my stamped Beautiful Butterflies, which I also colored with Distress Inks, fussy-cutting and layering them together. For the sentiment I used Contemporary Greetings, which has a great variety of sentiments to cover the major holidays throughout the year, as well as birthday and sympathy.
Thanks for looking!
