A large card featuring a reused panel and a watercoloured flower image - my own digital stamp!
This is my last card for my sister in this cardmaking session!! I reused the second panel from one I made recently with the scalloped edge. Unfortunately, I had already used the other layer to make the other card so I could not trace the pattern so I just made it up - drew it in with a pencil and trimmed it with small scissors!! It worked out well!! Better than I expected!! I decided to frame this floral image. This is a digital stamp that I made myself!!!! You can check out the pages of doodling I did while I was watching a doodling video on YouTube!! I did not always follow her instructions and did not do all the ones that she made but I was pretty happy with my pages of doodling. I recently found these in my craft room and decided to scan them so I could use them as digital stamps. I scanned all of the pages but only isolated about a half dozen images so far. I cleaned them up digitally before saving and printing them. I am pretty happy with this one!!!!! After printing I trimmed the image to fit in the opening I had cut in my panel with a rectangle die (Nestibilities). I added a ribbon below the opening and then a little gold star brad over the knot leaving the ends to extend on both sides. I adhered this large element to my large green card. I watercoloured my image and added it in the opening using 3D foam tape. I will certainly be doodling more pages of images - maybe butterflies or mushrooms next time!! There are a LOT of doodling videos online!! I will be making myself a few more digital stamps!! Therese
