Welcome to the October blog hop at From The Heart Stamps!
We have a Meet the Design Team theme this month.
We have added some new talent to our design team line up! And here is your chance to get to know them.
Each designer is showcasing a project and telling us a little bit about themselves. As you hop along, please leave a comment on each blog. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store. And additionally, we will have a game with some prizes on the FTHS blog!
If you have arrived from Lyn, you are in the right place, if not just start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.
Here is my creation!
Image: Spectacular Birdbrain (Exclusive fundraiser image)
Paper: Simple Stories Vintage Bliss
Coloring Medium: Distress Ink ~ Old Paper
Coloring Medium: Distress Ink ~ Old Paper
Other Supplies:
Smooch Glitz ~ Frost, Doodlebug dots, Glossy Accents, Lawn Fawn "A Birdie Told Me" die, Mama Elephant Tags a Lot die
I also used the current sketch challenge and twist as well.
It's hard to tell from the 1st pic, but I printed the image twice and cut out just the glasses. Then 'covered' the lens w/the Smooch Glitz, and added Glossy Accents to the eyes. Then used pop dots to give the image some depth.
So ~ here is a little bit about me
