Hola!
We've got a great new challenge over on the Alphabet Blog today..."F" is for Flora or Fauna! I decided to go with both the plant and animal life of the desert with this glowing birthday scene! This older llama set from Honey Bee Stamps, "No Probllama", has been on my wish list for a long time and I recently added it to my stash!
I began with an ink-blended panel starting with Fossilized Amber in the center circle and added Abandoned Coral and Candied Apple on the edges. I splattered this panel with water and metallic paint then set it aside to dry. I die cut several stitched hills from kraft paper (wider than the card base) and ink blended them to mimic sand dunes.
All of the images were stamped, colored and fussy/die cut. I assembled all of the die cut pieces together and then started to create my scene. Once I determined the placement, I began adhering the items beginning with the background sand dune. I added a couple of blank die cuts to the llama in order to give him a bit more stability and dimension. The sand dunes were trimmed from the back side to be flush with the panel and added a heat embossed sentiment strip and clear sequins to the cactus flowers. The inside reads: NO Probllama!
I LOVE this vibrant color palette - it really glows with a warm sparkle! We can't wait to see your plant (flora) and animal (fauna) projects in our Alphabet Challenge Gallery!
