Hello and happy Saturday!
Today I'm not sharing a paper craft. At school we started a community garden this year and someone donated some pavers. Any adult staff that was interested was invited to paint one for the little patio they built.
At first I wasn't going to participate because I figured I'd become obsessed with Pinterest trying to find the perfect idea for my rock. Then, one night I had a dream that I painted 3 big mushrooms. I actually remembered the dream when I woke up and started thinking about what I could do to bring my idea to life.
I had just got the Shroom to Grow stamp and wondered if it would be possible to stamp on a rock. I figured the worst that could happen would be that it wouldn't work and I would just have to paint over it and start from scratch.
The lines came out a little thick because I pressed REALLY hard to be sure the entire image would come out. Then...I just started sketching around him.
I went through my stamp book to see what other images might be cute on my rock and came across WINDOW BOX FRAME. After stamping that image I drew a gnome inside of it.
Next, I came across this little watering can and bird (unfortunately I realized too late that this one is discontinued) and imagined that they belonged to the gnome.
I drew a door in on the last mushroom I added. The gnome needed a neighbor right?? lol!
Lastly I just colored everything in.
The pavers measured 11" x 17."
I used copic markers rather than acrylics because I don't have a tiny enough paintbrush to paint some of the small details. It was a little streaky but I like the way it turned out.
