This week's Blogger's Challenge Friday was to create a card using the layout on page 44 of the Stampin' Up catalog. It's a fun layout to use, so try your hand at it too!
I chose to use stamps by Rosie's Roadshow to create this little springy scene.
The four stamps I used to create the scene are Leif, Flower, Long Grass, and Sabine the bird.
The images are stamped in black Stazon and colored with Copic markers. The background around the scene was then watercolored with a light wash of color.
Exciting news about Rosie's Roadshow! Rosie has opened an online store! If you've had trouble finding the stamps at your local shops, you can now order them online directly from miss Rosie! Yay, Rosie!! LOVE the new shop!
Anna, this is SO sweet!!! it was so nice to meet you at CHA!!!!! Can't wait to run into you again sometime!!!
