I had so much fun with these challenges! I took a different approach to the create your own stamp. 11 year old Brianna draws constantly. I was particularly impressed with the expression and detail she uses in her critters' eyes including the highlights. She loves drawing imaginary critters. She gave me this sketch of a parrot drawn in pencil on typing paper. I scanned it, resized it and made myself a digital stamp. The artwork is all hers as she drew it. He is colored with copics and pencils Background is done with distress inks and water. A stencil was used on portions of it. I used a piece of splicing thread from lacing rugs and died it in distress reinker. How neat that I now have a source of original, digital stamps! Thank you Brianna Stislow!

How stinkin' ADORABLE - the girl has some serious talent - looks like you could market her drawing as a new digi company! Love all your signature little touches - the button and twine, the little "x" stitching and the border stitching I have come to know and love, the the tilt of your panels -this is so sweet!
