I'm still in 'oldie' mood with my stamps (I feel a shopping trip is nearly due and it's partially a guilty conscience ha!) And it's turned out that both have a bit of a butterfly theme going on!
This first one's from High Hopes from quite a few years ago. Coloured with polychromos, sparkle added to his spots and gloss/glitter to the flower centre.
- Allsorts #515/516 - blossoms / bugs / butterflies
- Simon Says Stamp Monday - going round in circles
- Retro Rubber Challenge #109 - anything goes
I saw a card like this recently but can't recall where - with stencilling within a circle - so if it was you, Thank You for the inspiration!
I've used an old Penny Black stamp - coloured with polychromos and then cut out and popped up on foam pads. In case you're wondering how I get the curly fur texture, I just do all my colouring layers in little tiny scribbly circles and it kinda just sorts itself out in the end!
- Dream Valley #200 - all about bears
- Less is More #393 - subtle colours
Love both cards. I had to take a close look at the fur on your bear. It really does look soft and fuzzy! I'll have to give your technique a try sometime. We had a very nice Easter here, too. Maybe not as warm as yours, but we were able to shed our jackets and sit outside.
ReplyDeleteTwo really sweet creation and love the happy Froggie, many thanks for joining in with our 'Blossoms, Butterflies and Bugs' theme at Allsorts challenge.
