Today is my first day on a new journey with About Art Accents Annette has given me a wonderful opportunity to be on her Design Team and I received my first package of goodies from her last night. Let me tell you all, that these Stamp Plates are ABSOLUTELY TO DIE FOR!!! Great Rubber, deeply etched and the images are truly beautiful. For my first project I just had to do a Fairy card using Plate 145-Fairy Girls III. These images are so whimsical and really gave me some mojo. I decided to use a magical combination when it comes to color, so focused on purples and greens. Out came my watercolor pencils for the very first time, to color this masked beauty. I then used a blender pen to give the coloring a lift. This card was an absolute joy to create and I can't wait to use more of these awesome stamps from Annette. If you love mystical, asian, animal, and great sentiment stamps, Go take a gander over to About Art Accents. Let Annette know that I sent ya.
Supplies:
stamps: About Art Accents- Masked Fairy Girl and Friends Sentiment
Spellbinders: Circles and scalloped circles.
Paper: Card stock- Elegant Eggplant, Sage Shadow. scraps
Accessories: Cream Satin Ribbon, sage satin ribbon, pearl accents
Coloring agents: Nick Bantock Damson Plum, Watercolor pencils, black diamond stickles, Coffee Shimmerz
Tools: Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl embossing folder, corner rounder, heidi swapp distress tool.
Thanks for sharing this great day with me
