I took a few days off from the stamp room and today I was trying to get back into creative mode! It's a great day to stay inside and stamp as it is hot, hot, hot here in central VA. I think temps hit above 100° with the heat index around 120° and I was glad to have gotten my walk in early this morning! Stay hydrated people!!
I used the Freshly Made Sketches challenge to get me started. I like the 2 skinnier panels down the front and wanted to do something other than rectangles for those elements. I started with a piece of Moonlit Flora DSP for the background then added a band of Basic White to follow the sketch. I die cut 2 ferns; one in Peaceful Pine and one in Soft Sea Foam and added them as my long skinny elements.
I stamped and colored in 2 koala bears from the Wild Bunch stamp set and fussy cut them and popped them on dimensionals over the ferns. I stamped 2 of the branches from the Wild Bunch stamp set in Peaceful Pine and colored them in with Soft Sea Foam. After the branches were fussy cut I added them by the koalas feet.
The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray and die cut out with the retired Unbounded Love dies. I wanted to back it with a slightly larger circle but none of my punches or circle dies were the right size so I ended up using the retired Around It All dies for a wonky circle instead. The sentiment is popped on dimensionals as well.
A few Basic Gray Classic Dots are added as the final touch.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
