Sketch #60 is simple with lots of layering for you to play around with. Sample measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.
The background is done with an old BG stamp from The Angel Company called stripes. It's done in gray pigment ink from Colorbox on white card stock. The medium gray cardstock is layered with a darker gray and are both from Bazzill. I had this yummy 5/8 grosgrain ribbon that I added to the corner of the main panel and across the bottom layer, then embellished with light gray brads. I stamped the sentiment in Palette Noir at the bottom of the panel.
The main image is stamped in Palette Noir and I used white Liquid Applique to add dimension to the pussy willows. This is the third and final image that I did with the LA. I did one first without heating the LA up to make it puff....looked OK, but didn't have the WOW factor I was looking for. The next time I added some brown chalk to the puffed up LA to give them a realistic look...they just looked dirty to me, and aren't pussy willows gray in color anyway? So, I ended up leaving them naked. So, how do you think they came out?
Supplies:
Background stamp - TAC
Sentiment - TAC
Pussy willows - The Stampin Place
Grosgrain ribbon in light gray
Gray Brads
Bazzill card stock
Liquid Applique
