Bringing the Sunshine

The temperatures have been mild for this time of year where I live, but the sunshine is voluminous.  In honor of the heat and sunshine I started this picture yesterday using some of the stamps I purchased at Hobby Lobby and RubberMoon.  I started out with a face stamp I purchased years ago and have never used.  After this project I realized why I never used it; it is the ugliest stamp EVER. I ended up cutting a circle out of some pretty scrapbooking paper I had and am totally in love with the picture now.

Here is the before and after pictures:

Before

After

I used my puffy 3-D gel and Sharpie White pens for accents.  I would not recommend the White Sharpie pen, as if you push a little too hard the ink comes out in a big blob and is super hard to clean up.  I used a baby wipe to get most of it off, but it still left a hint of the ink.

Supplies:

-Triangle and Stampstracts stamps from RubberMoon.

-Flowers and grass stamps from Hobby Lobby.

-Acrylic paints

-3-D Gel Pens

-White Sharpie Pen

-Scrapbooking paper

I'm going to be adding a sentiment; I just haven't finalized which stamp I will be using.

Day 66 - Feel The Sunshine

This ATC was made with a wallpaper background, colored in stamped image, and finalized with a swirly stamp in red.  I love how the blue really stands out and I hope that Spring is recognizing these types of images right now as we all hint to welcoming the new season.

This is Day 66's ATCs that I submitted in the 2010 Project ATC 365.
