A couple of weekends ago, my oldest boy had a baseball tournament and this time the weather was beautiful. There was an hour break between games and I was prepared with some stamped images to color to pass the time. This drew some curious glances from the other baseball moms, and before I knew it, they were coloring with zig markers like a pro! I ran out of my stamped images.
I had colored these beauties from Craftin' Desert Diva's Botanical Beauties Layers Stamp Set with Zig Markers (having stamped only the outermost image onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock) that weekend and decided to arrange them in a scene like setting for their current Linky Party: Create A Scene. I was trying to replicate a beautiful hibiscus bush standing tall against a faded wooden shed.
Each of the blooms and leaves had inking around the edges to soften the images and match the background a bit better. I finished the card with a stamped sentiment from Right at Home's Script Greeting Stamp Set.
This is crazy lovely! I added your blog to my "inspiration" blog list so I can come visit again!
