So, It's been a while! Lots going on for me right now and while I
still try to find time to create I don't always find time to post. So,
here is a post that will make up for my absence...Here are some cards I
simply made for fun and at the end there is a card I'd like to enter
into the
Lawnscaping Challenge!
Here goes...
I used Tim Holtz Texture Paste for the first time and
love
it! I replaced my stencil with diagonal stripes after the paste dried
and blended over it with Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, and Mustard
Seed distress inks. For the wonderful sentiment I used a stamp from
Simon Says Stamp's Blessed set.
This was a fun thank you card for my
awesome
dad who recently worked on my husband's brakes for us. I used the Lawn
Fawn set, Let's Roll and colored it in with alcohol markers.
For
this happy card I used the Texture Paste again with Dusty Concord,
Spiced Marmalade, and Peacock Feathers. I then stamped the goat from
Simon Says Stamp's Birthday Farm Animals,
and colored him using my new Spectrum Noir markers! I finished him off
with a bit of Wink of Stella glitter on the cupcake and some white gel
pen and Glossy Accents on his eyes and nose.
Detail shot of the goat!
OK...here is the
Lawn Fawn Challenge entry!
I am so excited to share this next project with you! I'm so glad I joined this challenge because I
love
the way it turned out. The challenge is to use patterned paper...the
instructions said you could also make your own...so, since I had never
tried that I thought I would....
I started out by using my ruler and pencil
to create a diamond pattern across the front of the card. Then I cut
some Post It tape to use as a mask for the diamonds around the one I
would be stamping in...and proceeded to stamp my little characters from
Lawn Fawn's set Monster Mash!
I then chose my second creature to use and began stamping him as well.
Once all the stamping was finished the Spectrum Noir coloring began.....
(yes, that little guy on the bottom of the card was intentionally stamped upside down.)
I
used my ruler and white gel pen to create a more defined line to
separate the blocks a little more. I think it gave it all such a nice
finish!
The cute sentiment is from the same stamp set. This card just makes me happy! It's going to be difficult to decide who gets to receive this one!
