Another great CI Paints Challenge this week...SUMMER STROLL! I can't believe summer is almost over with! :( Pretty soon all the beautiful flowers will be gone. I love summer, for I just LOVE playing in my flower beds!
I sure am liking our weather better, last week it was up in the 90's all week (not fun to work in at all) and this week it's in the mid-70's! I love it! Makes working outside fun again!
When I think of summer, I think of flowers, so I first am sharing one of my favorite flowers from in my garden!
I just LOVE my Stargazer Lilies! Every flower bed I put in at least one Stargazer is planted! I think I have about a dozen of them throughout the yard!
And a picture of my front flower bed!
Now onto my project for this week's challenge!
I just got these awesome Great Impression's Stamps from a friend....I jusy love them!! Thanks for the stamps!I thought it would be so cool to stamp the image twice and use the 2nd one to cut a few of the flowers to make it look 3-D!
I think it is so stunning! This stamps is their current stamp of the month called "Flowe Cluster" #G375.
I used CI Paints Amethyst, Plum and Lavender to color in the flower cluster with beautiful shimmer!
Here's a close-up of the other stamp! This one is alsp part of the stamp of the month stamps called "Dragonfly Wishes" #G377.
I used CI Paints Sky Blue, Sage, Mellow Yellow and Amethyst to give the flowers, dragonflies and butterflies some shimmer! I used a water brush to paing on these colors to give just a light detail to them. The dragonflies wings look irridescent.
Have a great day!
