Seedling Pots

I’m featuring the seedlings digital stamp from Echidna Studios today. You might remember seeing these little pots before but they were sized differently last time to show the whole digital stamp. To create today’s card I printed the image larger on hot press watercolour paper and once again used watercolour paints to add colour.

As the image has quite a few leaves and stems it was less fiddly to paint it on a larger scale. I kept my colour palette minimal using a green I mixed myself along with two browns and a black for the pots.

The Echidna Studios etsy store is my daughter’s store and is filled with a mix of digital images, most are her original artwork but there are some of my designs also. We are continuing to add to the store regularly and are working on some videos to introduce you to the world of digital stamps and cutting files. I print on a basic laser printer but my daughter tested some of the images on an inkjet printer recently and they worked very well. I cut the svg cutting files on my Cricut but a Silhouette or a ScanNCut would also work.

Thanks for dropping by today.

If you are a plan ahead – plant ahead person then you might have some seedlings growing somewhere in your house or green house. These are the only seedlings I have at this point but I must say they are looking quite healthy.

This is a digital stamp designed by my daughter and available in her etsy store Echidna Studios. I printed it so that it just fitted on an A2 card front but I think it might be nice to print it larger and feature only one or two pots on a card front with the shoots and leaves coming off the edge of the panel.

I printed on hot pressed watercolour paper and used my Sennelier pan paints for all the colouring. I used a mix of greens for the greenery and a mix of blue and brown for the pots. I really like blue and brown combos these days, something that I wouldn’t have imagined a few years back.

The sentiment is from Simply Graphic’s ‘English Sentiments’ set; I like the handwritten look and the size of the words. I know I could be handwriting a few sentiments myself here and there but I always add the sentiment last and by that time I don’t want to mess up a otherwise completed card with a crooked or uneven sentiment. That being said I think I should try a few handwritten sentiments on upcoming cards…
