Welcome back to another 2015-16 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop. We are a group of international demonstrators selected by Stampin' Up! to represent the company on our blogs and on social media. If you are already going through the hop, you should have just arrived here from visiting my good friend, Cindy Schuster. When you leave here you will travel on to visit the very talented Inge Groot. You will be amazed at all the fabulous projects created by the Artisan Design Team so be sure to go all the way through the blog hop!
I have another card made with the beautiful Helping Me Grow stamp set. I am happy to say that this set will be returning in the new catty because it is definitely one of my favorites...especially this daisy stamp. I did alter this particular stamp by cutting apart the two main flowers to create two separate stamps. It made it much easier to work with. This is a photopolymer set, so if I want to use it the way it was originally intended, it will be very easy to do.
This was originally intended to be a one layer card, but I got a little heavy-handed with the distressing and dulled the flowers, so I covered them with an additional flower layer. I adhered them in the center and allowed the petals to naturally curve away from the card front for a more realistic feel. I also allowed the bottom left flower to hang over the edge of the panel, but I had to offset the panel to the right in order to do so. This is what I call a "happy accident"!
The Artisan Design Team will be hopping again in a few weeks, so be sure to check back often. Inge Groot is next on our blog hop so be sure to head on over and check out what she and the the rest of the Artisan Design Team team have in store by clicking on the button below.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE YOUR DEMONSTRATOR!
