Floating & Fluttering for FMS468
Floating & Fluttering for Freshly Made Sketches
Today I am playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge 468. They offer up a sketch idea, and then we as paper crafters create a project inspired by that sketch! Here is the Sketch Idea offered and it will link you back to their blog to see all the other creations created as well.
I decided to create with the new Floating & Fluttering stamp set and coordinating dies. I also pulled in a sample piece of the Fine Art Floral DSP. I wanted something bright but also wanted to show off these fabulous new butterflies we have to offer. Since this set has no sentiments, I also used the new Happy Thoughts stamp set.
Take a look at my Stampin’ Show & Tell video tutorial, and watch as I go through the creative process. This is a lovely 2-step stamping set, where we can stamp the outline image and then stamp the full color of the image with a second stamp. Then see the full tutorial with the supply list below in this post.
So are you inspired by this fun project? I just love the brightness of the colors and the way the pattern in the Fine Arts Floral DSP coordinates with the outline images of the butterfly.
