Welcome crafty friends, today I'm sending you Positive Thoughts with this weeks CC&S colour challenge:
I'll admit, not really any of my "go to" colours, so after scanning my stamp sets I decided to make a freehand frame design using the Positive Thoughts stamp set.
Using a stitched rectangle die as a guide lightly traced the inside with a pencil and then stamped my sentiment - this is usually the last thing I stamp, but today has been one of those days where my head is a bit all over the place.
Next I stamped the flower, then used scraps of paper to mask that image when stamping the fern leaves. The balance was a little off so I added a butterfly towards the top of the rectangle frame - using daubers to apply the 2 shades of ink.
Lastly retraced the inside of the rectangle die with the fine end of an Early Espresso Stampin write marker, then added a freehand frame, then changed it up to finish the frame with Merry Merlot. I'm not sure if I like the 2 tone frame, but it is growing on with time, what do you think?
