{Spotlight Project} Becca Makes Artsy Blooms

I love stamp sets that let you create funky things with abstract shapes, so when I first laid eyes on the new stamp club set, Artsy Tribal Doodles, I knew it was going to be a match made in heaven.

When I was looking at the shapes, I immediately decided I just HAD to make some flowers from the circular designs.

I started by taking 3 of the circular shapes and stamping them in different shades of Distress inks. Specifically, I stamped in Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon, and Abandoned Coral.

Next, I colored in the centers with some Spectrum Noir markers.

I added some enamel dots for interest to the center and then drew on some stems and leaves using a Faber Castell Big Brush Artist Pen.

I added on a black outline and some faux stitchwork using a black pen.

I backed the focal image with orange, added a sentiment from the Gone Postal set and backed it all with a frame made using the largest die from the Crazy Double Running Stitch Nesting Dies.
