Sweet November Preview Day 5

TGIF! Welcome to another day of Sweet November Zodiac Girls stamp previews. These will be available for sale in both rubber and digital form at All That Scraps on March 7. Todays projects feature the Sagittarius and Capricorn images. Be sure to also click on over to guest designers Margie and Alison along with the talented illustrator of the Sweet November line Amy who is offering a chance for some blog candy.

I chose to work with "Capricorn" today. Afterall it is my sign. I did a bit of altering of the image by omitting the goat horns and the necklace to make her appear to be a girl enjoying a sweet spring breeze. I used my Memento Tuxedo Black Marker to color my stamp close to the horn areas, then inked up the remainder of the image sans the horns with my Memento ink pad. I "huffed" on it a bit, then stamped onto Copic X-Press-IT cardstock. And since I had not stamped the horns, I drew in the resulting blank spaces for hair with a Copic Multiliner pen and colored her with Copics. I cut around the box portion of the image with a trimmer and then the portion outside of the frame with scissors. All patterned paper came from my scraps box. I wanted my card to be very springlike so I added some rolled roses and butterflies created with My Favorite Things Die-namics.

    Hi Nancy, Very creative altering. Looks good.
    Love the look of the rolled flowers especially the one on the butterfly. You're so lucky you get to play with the SN stamps. TFS!

    Love that you've made the image "yours" through altering. Amy should be proud, as she often also alters images with great success.
