Becky Oehlers Image

So, if you are like me, you know all about Papertrey's Third Anniversary Celebration; I don't need to tell you about it! A couple of days ago there was a challenge issued to download images from the newly announced Stamp Designer Team and create a project from them. Lol, I am not fond of sitting and fiddling in front of a computer, but I did get one image downloaded and printed; Becky's little house, found here. Now, the contest is long over, but I still wanted to finish the card~ and I did!

If you enlarge the photo, I think the true pastel colors will get better. I used the new pink shimmer paper as the background cs, lemon tart as the first layer, and printed the image on Stampers select. then I copied Becky's quilt lawn by cutting and gluing squares to copy paper, and printing the image(s) onto the copy paper. Cut out the lawn and glued it on- halfway done!

I took the sun, house and balloon and colored them with Prisma's and Copics to match the 'quilted' lawn, then popped them upon dimensionals. I covered the clouds with Flower Soft Polar White. The sentiment is from Baby Button Bits, I cut off the 'bee' portion of the sentiment...gasp...!! It's ok to cut things off, because it is really easy to slip it back together if you want to print it together again.

I did not find this terribly enjoyable to do, but it helped solidify my feelings about digital images- I like to stamp!

But I love all things Papertrey; I love the monthly release buildups, and I especially love the anniversary celebrations!
