Rubeena created this beauty:
I love the way Rubeena stamped the image off the edge, so I chose an image that would have a similar appearance. I got out my Zig Clean Color Markers and went to work coloring away to achieve a watercolor effect just like Rubeena. What, you don't see gorgeous watercoloring? No, you're right, I scrapped that monstrosity (and by scrapping, I mean in the bin, not the family scrapbook). I then pulled out the Copics. Ahh, peace in the craft room. To continue with Rubeena's look, I added a simple, one-line sentiment, shimmery cardstock as a second tag and finished off with something textural for the tie.
Here's a close-up of that sweet little ellie:
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Wild Rose - Bella Sleeping, Lili of the Valley - Handwritten Phrases
Dies: Poppystamps - Stitched Main Street Tags
Paper: Scraps of unknown origin
