Hello. Ack, I told myself I'm not supposed to be spending too much time doing hobby stuff, but I couldn't help it. I used the latest sketch from Card Patterns #158.
Used a Lilli Claire digital stamp from Tiddly Inks. I couldn't quite follow the bow and flower placement without it looking too unbalanced or something.
Cardstock is from Papertrey Ink, patterned paper is Prima Marketing. Colored the skin with Copics, the rest with Prismacolor pencils. Added distress ink around the image, got a little too overzealous, tried to use the flower to cover that overdone corner. I think it was too dark in my room and I couldn't tell how much ink was getting on there.
Tried out my new Impression Plate from Papertrey Ink on the half lacey circle from Spellbinders, if you can tell in the close up. I still don't know if I've figured out the optimal sandwich, but I think it worked pretty well once I sprayed the cardstock. First I tried water, but it warped the paper. I think I read somewhere on the PTI forum about using alcohol, so I sprayed some rubbing alcohol and it seemed to warp less. Maybe if I hadn't been so impatient and tried heating it with my heat gun, it would have stayed flatter.
I'm also going to enter this in the Lily Pad flower challenge, although now after reading the fine print, it's mostly to pass along to other people who may want to enter as I see it's a judged contest...
Bye!
