I'm usually not a big fan of what I call "cutesy" stamps, but this adorable Pure Innocence Stamp from My Favorite Things won my heart. This line of stamps reminds me of my nieces … and of my own childhood. I loved swinging as a child (and still do) … there was nothing better than seeing how high I could go and then jumping out and flying through the air (however, I no longer jump out of my swing or fly through the air … but I still say Whee).
I combined this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch with papers from Basic Grey Green at Heart. I paper pieced her dress & shoes from the same designer paper as the background. I stamped the tree portion of the image twice on green cardstock and layered the pieces to fill in the space to the edge of the oval frame. I added some Prismacolor coloring and shading to the image and a Queen & Company Flower jewel to adorn her hair.
I cut the sentiment apart (easy to do with clear stamps), so I could position it around the oval. I curved it slightly on the stamping block before inking.
Happy Hump Day!
Beautiful Stephanie. Love that cute image and that adorable paper.
ok, that is indeed totally lovely but i am MOST impressed with the placement of the sentiment which i had sort of weirdly assumed must’
