Last weeks sketch challenge appealed to me. I wasn't sure what I was going to do so I left my post it note on my desk until the idea came. Well that idea came to me while shopping at the Hobby Lobby outlet store in Oklahoma City. I found this great stamp by Stampabilities called Parisian Bridge for $2! Then the next day while at Michaels I found some Autumn Papers by Making Memories. The rust colored designer paper just reminded me of a parisian tapestry. Last night I stamped the image on some watercolor paper, used my Stampin Up Earth Elements Water Color Wonder Crayons to scribble over the areas, then got out my Aqua painter. I love my Aqua Painter so much that I had thought I had lost them so I ordered more. Luckily I found my old ones after the move and now I have two! The saying is a clear stamp set I found at Michaels as well. TC is the company name. The felt leaves are from a roll of ribbon I have had for so long.
Forest Ranger is hosting her second swap on Splitcoaststampers. This time it is a Winter Forest theme. I used the same stamp as last time from the Stampin Up Lovely As A Tree set. Except I stamped it using white craft ink and embossed with some holographic embossing powder. The shiny effect does not come through in the picture unfortunately. I had this card idea for my own Christmas card for years. It is just I theme my Christmas every year and this hasn't fit any of the themes yet. The ribbon I found at Michaels. It even has wire in it! I used the Stampin Up Small Script stamp set for the joy and the Silver hodgepodge hardware.
