March Stamp of the Month Artwork

This a cute simple card by my dear friend and Upline+, Jolene.  I just love how the Mayberry papers go with the Beatrix Potter inspired March Stamp of the Month. The adorable bunnies in the stamp set with the fresh colors of the paper make me long for spring.  Warm weather?  Yes, please!

The stamped image is brought to life with the use of our wonderful Watercolor Pencils.  They really create a fluid look that makes an image "pop".  See how the dress of the Mother Rabbit has a pattern to it? This effect is created with a great technique called paper piecing.  To recreate this idea start by stamping your image on a piece of cardstock( this is your base). Stamp the same image again on patterned paper, and cut out the parts you want your image to have with that particular pattern.  Repeat with other patterned papers until you have all the pieces you want.  Then simply glue your pieces to the base image to create a singular, striking focal point.
