It's that time again. The first of the month is a great time to hop with the Rose Blossoms to see some amazing artwork using the current Stamp Of The Month. Look at that variety of flowers!!
Make sure that you look at all of the blogs in this hop to see some stunning artwork with this beautiful set. I you came from Lynn Darda's blog you're at the next stop.
I made a scrapbook page for you today. I can't wait to make amazing cards with this set but I have sooooooooo many pictures to deal with. I'd love to tell you the story of the mayhem involved in bringing you this page but you'll just have to believe me when I say that this comes to you due based on a creative idea, a series of debacles and a colossal mess! I loved making the mess too.
This is NOT what the idea looked like in my head. My imagination had a lot more variety of colors and more focused attention to each individual flower. But I love this too. Maybe next time I'll have to try the other idea again. All I did here was to paint a colorful area on a piece of watercolor paper and then stamp flowers in black in a fairly random way. You can't really tell from the straight on photo, but there's a little bit of a layering thing going on. I did do a tiny bit of fussy cutting as you can see below.
It was hard to decide if I needed a title for this page or not. And truthfully I ran out of creativity by the time that finishing touch needed to be added. I looked for an easy way out. The Adventure Fundamentals Complements were there for me with work "dream" already cut out in these beautiful glittery letters. My life is better than I ever would've tried to imagine with this awesome man by my side. We have love and friendship and sooooooooooo much more. I'm truly living the dream.
Make sure to hop over to Kim Hill's blog next. I can't tell you what she made but this time around I know it will have flowers.
Only one word can describe this layout....STUNNING! The colors and stamping and embellishments all flow together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic page, Shelly! Love the watercoloring over the stamping. To echo Ginger, it really is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThis layout is so much fun! (And I can tell you had a lot of fun making it). This is what watercolor should be - crazy and free and wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my! This page is so crazy beautiful! I love the random stamped sentiments because they add the perfect finishing touch. So much love on a page. Take more time to scrapbook because your results are amazing!
ReplyDeleteShelly, Shelly, Shelly...love this! Your random stamping on your watercolor background is so beautiful! Speaking of beautiful, you look so beautiful, relaxed and happy in this photo! Great job.
ReplyDeleteShelly, first off, you are so GORGEOUS and the pic of you and your hubby is so nice and really is perfect for the page you created for it. Second, regardless of what you had in mind, it looks so natural! I personally think it is hard to make watercolor washes look natural and "nature made" and not stiff and too perfect. Love love love it!! I can't wait to try this technique!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this layout Shelly. It is just gorgeous!
