I have two projects I wanted to try -- one the unique and historical structures here and the beautiful wildflowers that bloom each spring. I created Pinterest boards for each. I also gathered lot of ideas for color, and style for each of those.

 

I did create a sketch of the chosen flowers and used that to begin playing around on my iPad in Sketchbook Pro to create my three stamps of three local wildflowers. I started to small and then enlarged each design to fill the space. Deciding on the background colors took a bit of thinking, but I do love blue and yellow. I considered different types of borders and chose something simple that wouldn't detract much from the stamps.

 

And to display them in my wallboard, I choose the spring green background and the same border and fonts as the stamps.

 

I enjoyed this process of "moodboards," research, sketching, and creating through a themed design.

Thank you
