Petals for the Pittmans

Hello my fellow crafters.  Today I'm focusing on brand new, collaborative digital stamp set spearheaded by Polka Dot Orchard.  This is to help out a fellow crafter and design team member, Larissa Pittman and her husband Gary.

This is a limited edition floral stamp set and you are going to want to get your hands on it!  Several different companies and artists have contributed to the set.  You'll find it over in the Polka Dot Orchard Etsy storeAll proceeds from this limited edition set will go directly to the Pittmans.  There is even going to be a crafty link up with lots of prizes to be won!



You can head right to the Polka Dot Orchard blog HERE for complete details.

Now, I about fainted when I found out which artist designed the images I used on my card today.  Gracie from Graciellie Design!  I am a HUGE fan of her art.  These images and sentiments are absolutely gorgeous and so full of detail.  So let us see what I made!


I wanted to really make these peonies come to life so I sized it to fit a 5x7 card.  I did reduce the opacity of the lines before I printed it out onto X-Press It cardstock.

Here are a few progress photos.



Here is the list of Copic markers that I used:

Cup-N0, N1, N3, N5 and N7
Leaves-BG11, BG13, BG18 and BG78
Flower Centers-YR32, YR35, YR38
Flowers-YR000, R12, R02, R05 and R59

When I printed the flowers, I also printed the sentiment onto the cardstock.  I ran it through my Minc machine to add teal foil that matches the leaves.



The only other elements I added to the card were Wink of Stella, some dots made with a white gel pen and a few sequins.  I didn't want to distract from the gorgeous flowers!

I do hope you will check out this fantastic stamp set available in the Polka Dot Orchard Etsy store.  Remember...it's only available for a limited time!
