Barbara is our hostess this week and she has chosen sweet sugarplum, daffodil delight, wild wasabi and for dessert: bling. I had to sub DI inks for the Wild wasabi and Daffodil because I knew I was going to need to sponge the bg. I did sponge the sugarplum and I have to say it worked quite well.
Die cut a stitched frame and set aside. On card front I sponged the bg scene, using a mask for the sun, then stamped some grass over the green sponging. I took a little artistic license on the color of the flamingo, but I like how it turned out! Triple stamped the die cut flamingo, sponging ink on the stamp for the first layer (creates a lighter color), full strength for the second layer and black for the top layer. Stamped and fussy cut the flowers and leaves for a little extra tropical feel for the corner of the frame. Stamped some flying birds and assembled – dimensional tape under the frame and flamingo and flowers. Added the stickles for some bling!
