Sketchy Roses

Hello.

If you're waiting for Altenew i thought i would show you an older set Sketchy Roses.

This set has the beautiful large rose stamp and some extra leave stems and petals and is currently on sale.

Normally i would colour with copics or maybe watercolours but if your not confident colouring paper  piecing is the answer.

I stamped the rose and the stem onto some paper from Lawn Fawn lets polka mon amie papers in pink and green.

After fussy cutting i added some basic shading with copics.

There are lots of options with this technique and you can go simple like i have or more elaborate and add lots of layers or bold patterns.

Figuring some more!!!

Good Monday morning to you....... only two Mondays left of the summer hols so I'm treasuring them :0)

I'm back today with another card featuring Figure Effects but only one, as crafting time has escaped me this week!!

The tiny bowler hat in this set made me look at those two seated figures and see an interview taking place... albeit a rather informal one.. Lol!!!

Now I know it's rare to see a city worker in a bowler hat these days but with these simple figures its the suggestion that counts and to add a bit of extra contrast and detail I used some striped material to cover a piece of chipboard as a backdrop for this simple scene.

Both the Lawn Fawn Alphabet and Labelled Love are out of stock at the moment but you could use any combination of sentiments from your stash...you could even make it a 'Good Luck in your interview' card instead!!  

                                         

Just a quick reminder to check out this weeks challenge at Paper Smooches Sparks, it's Anything Goes and why not combine it with one of the colour palettes in our own monthly challenge here at Make the Day Special Stamp Store... the details and linky tool are here :0)

Thanbks for stopping by
