This is my first go at the Elzybells Challenge. I've just bought some new Elzybells stamps (see below) so I thought I'd try the sketch set by Michelle.
So I decided to make a Mother's Day card for my Mum using the Flower Girl stamp. I coloured her in using a mixture of copics and watercolour pencils and paper pieced her dress to match the background paper. I added highlights of white gel pen and Crystal Stickles on her. In place of the stamped flowers, I added tiny Prima flowers to which I added Crystal Stickles and tiny gems. I cut the whole image out using rectangle nesties and then mounted on green and red card.
The papers are all by American Crafts. The long rectangular piece I mounted on American Craft cardstock. The polka dot orange horizontal piece I punched with my Fiskars daisy border punch and added a strip of sticky lace. Finally I put together 2 Prima flowers with Crystal Stickles and a tiny brad and added 2 Boss-kut swirls.
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Elzybells); Copics; Watercolours; Paper (American Crafts); Assorted cardstock; Nesties; Boss-Kut; Flowers (Ebay); Brad (Woodware); Crystal Stickles; Tiny gems (from stash); White gel pen (Sakura); Daisy punch (Fiskars); Lacy sticky ribbon
So here is my recent (mainly Elzybells) new stash. I've been wanting some more nesties and loved the shape of the Labels sets so I bought one of those and then I bought a couple of the clear sets from Elzybells (they're just the cutest aren't they?) and 2 rubber ones- Girl with Flowers and In the Dog House. Can't wait to use them all!
