Materials used:
Sarn's Sarntangle Rubber Stamp Set (these were a limited edition that have now sold out but you can get some digi ones from her blog: Stamping For Pleasure.)
X-Press It card cut to ATC size
Copic pens
Copic multiliner
Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad
The stamp starts (or ends if you turn it around the other way) with the swirl which I have used as the 'p' in Spring. I added the other letters with the multiliner pen trying to make it look like the swirls in the original stamp.
The leaves and swirls are coloured with the Copics in spring colours (although when I Googled Spring colours it came up with just about every colour in the rainbow and more!)
The black border is added freehand using the multiliner pen.
Now if I am being honest, the reason I have never made anything for a specific challenge, other than progressive freebies, is that I am never organised enough but I was determined to do this one maily so I can plug Sarn's stamps and her fantastic blog, which is well worth a visit, but also so I can feel the ink and rubber again after all the digi stamping I have been doing.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care.
Pippa

That is such clever use of the stamp. It's also really pretty!! So is skiing down the Matterhorn on your "to do list"? :)

Well Florence, it would be if I were a good enough skier, a couple of decades younger and the cardiologist pronounced a miracle cure of a congenital heart problem!! ;)
ReplyDeleteSarn's Tangles are wonderfully designed, and I always enjoy seeing these on cards (my tangling never turns out well, so I really should buy some of the digis. Missed out on the 'real' because of the international shipping charges). You've used this one splendidly, and the turquoise and soft lemon colors work so pretty together for a fresh look. Thanks for the heads up on the digi availability. I've never snow ski'd, and not waterski'd either, though I lived over 40 yrs in Fla. Just not something on my bucket list! But always looks fun & exciting, and I love to watch the skiing when it's in the Olympics. TFS & Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous "Springy" card! Love it- thanks for sharing with us at Crafty Gals Corner.
