Hi crafty friends and welcome back!

I also have another great inspiration for you, featuring many rubber stamps designed by Stacey Yacula.
I love those illustrations so much!
I firstly stamped all the critters and the basket on a piece of Transotype Perfect Coloring paper and then I took another piece and stamped the cloth. I then colored everything using Copics (you can find all my combos below). When everything was ready, I fussy cut them and started to arrange critters on my scene.
I had an A2 card sized in my mind, but here I realized I would have preferred a round one, it fits better with my scene. I usually color my backgrounds on bigger pieces of paper, so if I change my mind, I don't have to re-do them. So, I die cut the background panel, which has only the cloth and some grass, using a Stitched Circle die. I started working on my sentiment, which comes from a Lawn Fawn Crazy Antics stamp set and I decided to cut the "PICNIC" letters from a small letters die to customize a bit the font.
To complete the card, I took a different piece of white paper and I stamped the All Lined Up Diagonally background from MFT using red ink: this was perfect for my scene, because it reminds the tablecloth pattern. I die cut the panel using a larger circular die.
Thanks for stopping by, I really hope you will like my inspiration!
