I then layered the sheets of painted paper. I stamped the butterflies on one of the extra pieces of paper bag. I colored them in coordinating colors using the watercolor pencils. I then created the sentiment by stamping it on the painted kraft paper and tearing the edges and putting them over the layers.
I attached the papers using the Mini Stapler and glue dots for the butterflies.

Suzz...this is so cool! I love your idea of using torn pieces of a paper bag to create such a cool front. The white acrylic paint makes a great base to stamp on and add such gorgeous colored flowers. Love them and I also love your coordinated butterflies. So delicate and so pretty against the white and kraft background! <3 Candy

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to add texture, Suzz! Your flowers look amazing against the white paint! Beautiful and unique idea!

ReplyDeletehow cool this one is Suzz. Funny thing today I "rescued" some kraft (brown paper) paper from the paper recycle bin at work. Thinking of making some flowers with it. Your card has given me some ideas.

This gorgeous Suzanne!!! I absolutely love the layering of the images here. You truly did build a lovely garden ... out of a paper bag of all things :) Another pin for me this week from the SSS&S DT and more inspiration for my own projects. Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous Suzz, I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteAt first glance it looked like you had used embossing paste because of all the texture. Love how you used paint and kraft paper to achieve such a rich and wonderful effect. The blues and whites with the black ink contrast perfectly with the brown peaking out. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! Love the brown paper bag as base and the white paint on top! And the flower stamp is so pretty! Hugs, Sandra
ReplyDeletePrettiest old bag I've ever seen GF!
