Forsythia

 

Taking an image and transforming it into something new and and unique is what I like about digital stamps. Stretching the bounds...


Today begins a new challenge over at TiffanyDoodles! We are all seeing shades of turquoise. I invite you to play along, there are some great prizes up for grabs! (Click on the graphic for all the details!)
My card today uses the top portion of the Forsythia & PussyWillows image. I layered, colored and rotated about ten images to compile this graphic. I then stamped with a clear stamp and ink, added rhinestones and mounted it to a colored paper panel and white card base. Easy!


Check out the other design team member's samples, they are amazing!

    You have a lot of celebrating going on your blog! Woo hoo!. And it's all lovely and inspiring. Here's to hoping I get some crafty time in today... maybe I'll see if turquoise ends up in my color range.

    I love the dreamy feel to this card, Karen! And blue and green is one of my favorite color combos! I admire your ability to make a digi card like this, I'm lucky I can print a single image on a piece of paper ;)

    I don't quite understand how you got all these colours with a digi but it sure is fantastic! I love your creative use of that particular digi.
