I'm not a particularly skilled stamper either. Any good image I get is one of many attempts. Paper piecing it was a brilliant idea. He looks terrific! I know I've said it before, but you have some mad fussy cutting skills!!!
so cute! love that you paper pieced! stamping takes practice and you have to believe you can do it. I've had many a stamped image that I've thrown out because I didn't like the stamping or the coloring.
Cute-cute card! You did an excellent job of piecing together this cute little 'river horse'. I love his shirt! I DID NOT feel as if you had told us off! I thought is was funny :o)Ro
I have been making one of the guys at work Mother's Day cards for his wife for the past 6 years (if not longer). He likes to have his kids represented on the card if possible. This year I found out she likes hippos so I remembered Gerda Steiner cute Hippo Stamp. It is no longer a digi stamp so I had to buy the clear stamp - Hippo with Butterfly. Now most of you know I am not a stamper and coloring is not my thing. Well I tried to color him and it looked horrible. After telling off my friends (Karen & Ro) that make stamping look easy God reminded me that wasn't nice and to do what I'm comfortable with!! So I stamped on cardstock and paper pieced!! I love how he turned out. I found this color combo and used it for my inspiration: https://www.astellescolors.com/2017/09/20/color-inspiration-yellow-tang/ I then had my husband design the saying for the shirt and I ran the shirt through the printer to print it on the shirt.
I used sketch #2 from May 2019 Card Sketch Challenge. I flipped it upside down and then added balloons coming from the original image. Original sketch found here: http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2019/03/case-this-sketch-315.html
