I have always had a fascination for vintage Mother Goose, and I am going to be using this set, Storybook Friends, a lot! I Googled a bunch of vintage Mother Goose images to get a feel for the way illustrations were done, and I see a lot of these colorwashed brights, which is easy to duplicate with Stampin' Write Markers and an Aqua Painter. I also added some graphic lines & dots on the ducky to make it look more like a comic strip character. Add a little glitter, of course, to bump up the CAS a bit :)
I've been seeing these bows around, too...all paper but a really fabulous shape. So of course, off we go to the craft room to figure it out. You can make these with an oval punch, by first punching and then sliding the oval back in to repunch it narrower. I'll do a tutorial on this on my next post.
A little dahlia graces the paper bow! They are just the best.
This is going into my {Have Stash Will Travel} section, I'm away and using what I could fit in my one SU tote. So many things you can do with just a few supplies!
I'm also playing along with Connie and Mary for this sketch...
