We are hopping today with inspiration and creativity!!
Now, to share what I made with Sheena's flowers!!
I featured Sheena's lovely Iris:
I enjoy scenic stamping - putting together a variety of images to create a whole scene. When you start with Sheena's images, you only need three stamps to create a stunning scene. :o) The iris is backed up with images from her just as lovely Lakeside Shore set
I started by stamping the image closest to the front - the iris, onto semi-glossy cardstock. I masked it with a low tack tape and stamped the land and tree branches in the corner. The detail of Sheena's images look so pretty on glossy!
I used a stylus to add color.
After adding the base color, I darkened some areas and blended others using a pointed blending tool.
Now, remember to leave a comment and hop around!!:o)
