Super cute Edwin, Tilda and the butterflies are from the Magnolia of Sweden rubber stamp company, Spring Club Sheet of stamps. I love coloring these images with copic sketch markers – simply CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!! Find joy everyday sentiment is from a Hero Arts clear stamp set. Flower is the EK Success retro medium flower punch, leaves are a Martha Stewart punch and the button brad is from Making Memories. The pattern paper is the Dill Blossom pad from Michael’s. I like to use the Canson 9×12 tablet of Manga drawing paper to stamp and color with the copic markers. It’s heavier than 80# cover card-stock and really blends nicely. Oh, I almost forgot, I used a Martha Stewart double scallop border punch also. I haven’t seen any butterflies yet, but I saw a wasp yesterday. Dandelions, ground ivy and violets are showing up big time! lol My granddaughters love them! Spring is here!
I wanted his chaps to look like leather so I used a Magenta crackle stamp on them….
Then to make the rope look a little like twine/rope, I took my xacto knife and scratched it up….
a very fun cowboy to make….I’ve always loved paper piecing!!! Hope he makes you smile too!
Seems I never get enough rubber stamps! Getting new ones is so delightful! This border stamp from Stampin Up is so charming to me…a dainty and delicate floral motif that comes on the wheel and I remove them as soon as I can! I was looking for a scrap to do something with and pulled this strip of blue/greenish card-stock out of the box and it was the beginning of this card. I used the Fiskars apron punch again, keeping the clean white look, a white prima flower and more punch pieces for the brown greenery. The kraft leaves look better IRL, in my opinion….hehe The text stamp is from Printworks and stamped in Versafine Black ink. I used Espresso Adirondack ink for the floral motif. A button from Making Memories and a little piece of jute in the holes. Now, to decide what to work on next!
