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!


Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) OfficeMax
Patterned Paper: (Sweet Pea Collection) SU
Digital Image: (Forsythia & Pussywillows) TiffanyDoodles
Stamps: (Mega Mixed Messages) PTI
Ink: (Onyx Black) Versamark, (Fresh Snow Hybrid) PTI
Other: (Rhinestones) Michael's

  11. 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 ;)
