Kittie’s Bow

Good morning!  I’m not wearing a bow today so don’t be fooled by the title of my post. My project is made using a new Stampavie Gillian Roberts image called Kittie’s Bow. I have been having so much fun lately using my Martha Stewart flower and foliage punches and creating little garden scenes around images.  This little girl and cat image was perfect to pop up in a crisp white eyelet frame with a fun gingham background.

 
I stamped the image on watercolor paper, watercolored using reinkers mixed with water and cut out. I punched and created several flowers using embossed cardstock and I punched out foliage using crimped cardstock.  I think the embossed and crimped cardstock adds texture to the flowers and greenery and makes them look more alive.  I also stamped all the foliage with the mini fern stamp found in my Outdoor Master. I attached the image to the base of the card and then the white frame. I arranged the garden by layering the foliage in front of and behind the image using Matte Accents.  Once the foliage was in place I added the little flowers to finish.

Here is a little closer look so you can see the texture and dimension of the scene. You can click on the photos to get a larger view.

 
I hope you have a great Wednesday and that you have a chance to get in some fun stamping time.
