I have been asked to create some cards with a rural Australian theme which is quite challenging given the limited number of Stampin' Up! products which fit this criteria.
However I have had a good play with some of the images from Forever Fern stampset, and created a few cards with a bunch of wattle in a jar. I had lots of fun creating these. The wattle is stamped in Bumble Bee, and the bobbly spray is also cut from this Cardstock. To get the variegation in the leaves I used the Baby Wipe Technique and a range of green inks to create the stamp pad. One of these jars is copper, and the other is watercolour paper which I have painted with an aqua painter to look like green glass.
The forever Fern Stamp set is such a great versatile set, and while I had the baby wipe palette out I stamped a whole bunch of leaves. The woodgrain paper is now retired but it was the perfect background for my wattle bunches.
I thought these images looked like eucalyptus leaves hanging from the gum tree, so I attached a great bunch to these cards. Of course the inside of the cards is decorated too.
What other stampsets can you think of that can be adapted for Australian flora?
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
