Make it Monday #203 - Doodling with Stamps

Good morning friends.  Doodling with our stamps is what Ashley has us doing with this weeks Make it Monday challenge over at Papertrey Ink, and boy is it fun!  Took me a few tries with some different stamp sets, but the one that worked for me was the "Embroidered Blooms" stamp set, and this is what I came up with:



I used some bright Spring-y colors (Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest, New Leaf, Hawaiian Shores, & Harvest Gold) and an Aqua Pen to give the water-colored look, and then used a Micron 02 pen to do my doodling.  The butterflies are dies from the "Heart-2-Heart #10" set, and I added a few orange enamel dots to finish it off.

Ashley's video is one you won't want to miss...this really is a FUN technique!  You can check out the video, Ashley's beautiful card, and all the other great entries right here on Nichole's blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!  I think I'm off to do some more doodling...kinda addicting! :0)
