I created this card for two challenges that are new to me. Friday Sketchers has a sketch that I followed and Daring Cardmakers asks that we add sparkle and bling to our cards. My card features Layers of Color Flower Child art stamp set as the focal point. I’ve also used Layers of Color Fleur Heart art stamp set on the petals and center of the flower. The background is created with handmade papers.
There’s excitement in the air! I’m featured as a Guest Designer on Arty Girlz Challenge Blog! They’ve also chosen to feature Layers of Color Flower Child clear stamp set in their wonderful artwork!
And today, I’m featuring Arty Girlz as my Special Blog Guests. I’ve enjoyed meeting Julie, one of the kind and talented artists and owners of Arty Girlz. Julie and Crissi have been friends for fourteen years, and decided to start the blog in 2007. They are based in England and have a strong following of international participants devoted to entering in their creative online art challenges. Arty Girlz is known for the fabulous themes that encourage artists to express themselves in new ways. And for the community it builds, where like-minded, creative people can meet and inspire one another.
Thank you, Julie and Crissi of Arty Girlz, for supporting me as I reach for my dream of building my family-run art stamp business! My heart swells with gratitude for who you are and what you do. You’ve blessed me by inviting me to be your Guest Designer. I hope today I’ve been able to honor you in return.
Big Hugs, Laura
Arty Girlz theme this week encourages us to make art with Paint. I had fun making a card using paint and the Flower Child stamp set. I used paint on; the background, edges, dry brushed on the embossed paper, and on the inside of the rough wallpaper mini card. Velvet rickrack adds a baby soft touch.
Wednesday Stamper theme this week is trees. I’ve created a precious baby card with Layers of Color Flower Child stamp (available soon!)
This Sweet Sapling is colored with pencil, and sparkles with green glitter. It grows on handmade paper and textured wallpaper rubbed with baby blue ink.
