Paprika

It’s another challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!!  I set the theme to one of my favorites today which is “Rainbows, Clouds or Wings” and I decided to use clouds on my project.  The real reason is I found this fantastic idea from Ellen Hutson who created a gorgeous card using a clear plastic sheet and a bunch of liquid dots!  It was incredible and I wanted to give it a try… so here’s my attempt.

The background was created with Crystal Effects and dotting in a regular patterns.  I placed a vellum sheet on top of my grid paper pad and dotted every other intersection to create the pattern.  The ideas originally was to use a clear plastic sheet but I couldn’t find mine and settled for the vellum… however, I must confess that the clear acetate looks much better!  She also used a heart shape to cut into a cloud and I love that idea too!

The image is Paprika, which is a rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, and I went for non-yellow themed raincoats.  Don’t get me wrong, I love yellow raincoats but I always try to color my images differently each time.  It keeps me motivated to try new things because I can easily get stuck in a rut.

This is one of those cards that is better felt than seen because each of the rain drops pops out a little and creates a nice texture.  Then adding the felt clouds keep your fingers interested.  LOL

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:
Make it Monday Week #91 – Anything Goes (JFF)
Great Impressions Challenge #3 – Anything Goes

Lastly, I have some exciting news to share – Little Miss Muffet Stamps is getting into diecuts!  I’ve posted the first one today and will be taking pre-orders – they’ll ship as early as next Wednesday!  Check it out…

  3. Oh Barbara, don't thank me, let me remind you it was all your fault… It all started with the idea of drawing a sidewalk (your idea:-)), colouring wet, using Paprika who called for a puddle… Yours is just perfect! I love the whole background you have created for Paprika, love your choice of pink and grey, and your papers and embellishments are perfect! A gorgeous page! Hugs Delphine xxPS: Thank you for your lovely comment about my sunset too:-)
