Nutty Celebration in a Nutshell

There’s a new challenge blog called Nutshells.  They are currently having a giveaway to launch there new stamp line.  One lucky winner will receive 4 brand new Nutshells stamps from the new Summer collection, before the official release, and a selection of Imaginisce flowers.

Aren’t they adorable.  I especially like the little girl carrying the daisy with the bee following her around.  I can just imagine the little girl with whirly thingy (that’s the technical term) colored in patriotic fashion.  Wouldn’t that be cute for a Fourth of July celebration.

Nutty Celebration in a NutshellI am trying out for the Nutshells design team with this card.  If you want to take a chance, go to the Nutshells blog and read all about it.  

I loved this sketch.  I find it a challenge to do all of this layering.  Not only do you have to get everything placed and balanced, but you also have to find all these papers that go together. Oh, and how I love a challenge. 

I pulled out the DCWV Pocket Full of Posies stack and selected 5, yes 5, papers from that stack.  I colored her with Prismas and gamsol.  I think the sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp (it’s a clear stamp and not marked) and I added a few jewels and flowers from my stash.

Thanks to the folks at Nutshells for considering my creation.  I look forward to working with their gorgeous and nutty stamps!  I had so much fun coloring this little girl!!!

Blessings,

Christine
