Guest Designer Special Request

June 17, 2017Guest Designer, UncategorizedCopic Marks, Inspired by All the Little Things, Pansy Window Box Frame (High Hopes Stamps)Sue

I recently had a special request from a friend that was on my current design team to participate in their wonderful blog as a guest designer.

Karen Day from Inspired by All the Little Things asked me to post something that I was inspired by from the following photo:

For me a window box full of colourful flowers means that spring is here and that summer is almost here as well. Also spring signifies a new beginning as flowers and plants start to grow and then bloom for the rest of the summer.

The stamp is “Pansy Window Box Frame” which is from High Hopes Stamps, was coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. I trimmed the image down and used a 1/2′” corner rounder. Rhinestones were added to the center of the flowers. The paper is from Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Melody Collection.
