Since I was away, I haven't stamped in a few days, so I took some time today between running some errands, unpacking, and cleaning my house to do some stamping. Here's my just-under-the-wire entry for this month's My Favorite Things guest designer challenge. I've entered every month for the past few months pretty much knowing I have no chance of being selected, but I enjoy trying out the different challenges anyway.
This month's challenge was to use red and/or blue along with a neutral. I went with red and an aqua-ish blue along with my most favorite neutral, kraft. I made a sweet little rainy day scene on an easel card featuring the Pure Innocence My Umbrella set. I started with a dotted patterned paper that looked to me like a drizzly sky. I layered a felt cloud, cut with one of MFT's Die-Namics dies on the panel then added the colored and cut out girl image. The image is attached to the panel with foam tape. I stamped the umbrella a second time, colored it, cut it out and added it with more foam tape for even more dimension. I used a Copic marker to add a sort of shadowy puddle underneath the little girl's feet and coated her boots with a clear Glaze pen for a rubbery look.
I used my sewing machine to stitch the cloud in place and to make a border around the patterned paper panel. I attached the completed scene to a kraft easel base. The base has the same solid/patterned paper combination. I stamped the set's "feel better" sentiment, then wrapped a piece of stitched red grosgrain ribbon underneath the words to accent them.
