FTTC105 - Use 3 or More Decorative Papers & Stamping With Markers Challenge



Hello! I am back to share a project with you for today's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge.


Today, Betty is our hostess and she has challenged us to incorporate 3 or more decorative papers in our design. I also created for the Stamp It! Techniques Stamping With Markers challenge over in the Moxie Fab World. I thought it would be perfect for the challenge as I stamped and colored two of the three background panels with Copics! Click on the link to the Moxie Fab World to find out all the details on how to play along!

Here's what I created....



I knew I wanted to make some decorative paper of my own by using some of the stamps from the Love Notes stamp set which is one of my favorite new sets! I first stamped the multi-hearts image from the set repeatedly on kraft paper and colored them with Copic markers. Then I stamped a sentiment from the set repeatedly in Real Red ink and thought it would match my hearts paper just a bit better by adding in on of the musical love notes from the set. I cut my paper into thirds and layered them on A Real Red mat and separated the images with some stitching.



The I worked on my focal image. I stamped, colored and cut out the guitar and tambourine images from the set. I added some spica glitter pen and I used a silver metallic paint pen on some of the details that I thought would be chrome or metal on the real thing. It added a neat effect. I then added my instruments to the Fleurette I made.

I anchored everything to my design with a double-ended banner and added in a little heart punch out accented with a button and twine and some tiny silver pearls. For some added visual interest, I layered this entire panel to an offset sized base with some polka dot paper poking out on each side.

Come play along! Visit the Flourishes blog for all the details! I can't wait to see what you create!
