Crafter's Highlight: Amanda Phillips

Happy Friday Everyone! 

Today I am happy to introduce a new feature to Sami Stamps! Every once in a while I will be posting a

A Crafter's Highlight is when I find something wonderful in someone's project that I just can't help but share with all of you! I will include the crafter's tutorial so you can learn how to do it to! For this Crafter's Highlight I would like to introduce you to

 Amanda Phillips!

This particular project of Amanda's caught my eye! Its simply beautiful! AND I JUST LOVE IT!

Beautiful, beautiful card...her coloring of the image is exquisite. But what I really wanted to direct your attention to is those cute little yellow flowers she created as an embellishment.

If I created paper projects more I think I would add them to everything! They are just too sweet! And they actually look just like an A Day For Daisies flower, witch matches the image perfectly (since the image is from A Day For Daisies.)

Here is how she made them:

1.) Color paper with Y21 copic  (yellow)

2.) take a small black marker and make small dots everywhere!

3.) Punch out the dots with 3/16 or 1/8" whole punch. The punch will include the little black dot you made and some yellow surrounding it.

4.)Push the punched out dot around the end of a pen or stylus to make it curve.

And there you go! Sweet little flowers that would add to many projects!

Here is a direct link back to Amanda's blog and tutorial if you would like to visit her!
