Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome! It's the 1st Wednesday of May and time for a new Paper Funday Challenge. Our generous sponsors this month are Altenew and Picket Fence Studios. For my design team project, I've used the Aeonium African Succulent Stamp from Picket Fence Studios, however I couldn't find this stamp set on the site, it may be retired.
Picket Fence Studios are known for their larger than life images, and this one is gorgeous. I'll admit, it intimidated me as I didn't exactly know how to color it and I've had this stamp in my stash for a while. I did a google search for this succulent and found this color combo and thought, that's easy enough so let's give it a go!
I've colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers, and added some white dots here and there using a Uniball Signo Pen. To get as much of the image as possible on the card front, I went with a 5.5" square panel for this 6" card.
The sentiment is from the Altenew Versatile Greetings Die Set; I've cut the words from gold mirror card and used a black shadow, then mounted on foam pads. Lastly, I've added smoky gray gems from Kat Scrappiness.
Please join us at the challenge, we would love to have you join in the fun! And a huge thanks to our generous sponsors this month. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
