Good Morning everyone
Mid way through the month so time for more inspiration for We love stamping
This months theme is
CLOSE TO NATURE
or we always have the anything goes option as long as you use stamps
I decided to use the same shape circular dies as my first card and dug out an old Pink Ink Design stamp set with this lovely badger and dog rose stamps
Card size approx 8x8" I made my base card from 2 pieces of white card die cut with the largest die and joined with a hinge at the top. I then added a layer of green background sprayed with cosmic shimmer airless misters, one was pearlescent so it has a subtle shimmer.
I then stamped the badgers out and the floral spray multiple times, watercoloured with derwent inktense pencils and out out. I adhered 4 floral sprays around the frame with pinflair glue gel, adding a little shape to the leaves, I then slotted the badgers in behind the foliage. The smaller badger I stamped in grey ink so softer in the background.
I added a dot of diamond stickles glitter glue to the flower centres for a little touch of sparkle to finish.
I added shape to the big badger with a large ball tool to give him a more rounded look.
Since taking the photos I have cut the whiskers off the smaller badger as they were annoying me - too bulky and distracting as he is supposed to be in the distance - promise it didn't hurt him😀
Showing it stood up. I trimmed a small amount of the bottom of the back of the card so it stands up nicely
