Ok, so usually I'm not a morning person, but I had to be up and about quite early this morning, which meant I had to have a lot of caffeine to stay awake... So, after arriving home from my appointment this morning, I headed into the craft room!
This is a More Mustard card base, layered with Soft Suede, which has been run through the Big Shot using the Stripes embossing folder (neat huh?) I sponged the edges and then focused on my image panel. This lil guy is from The Greeting Farm, and he has been coloured using my Stampin' Write Markers and a Blender Pen. I then cut him out, and on my Vanilla piece, I stamped the 'splat' from Extreme Elements in More Mustard and the spots from the same set in Not Quite Navy, before stamping them on this piece of card, I stamped them once on a piece of scrap copy paper, as I didn't want the colours too bold. I then stamped the sentiment from Grunge Rock in Chocolate Chip over the top, I also sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink to make it look distressed. The three strips behind the main image panel are made up of a piece of new Denim Ribbon from Stampin' Up! a Faux Metal piece (see below for info) and a piece of yellow and white twine.
The Faux Metal piece is super easy to do... Just cover a piece of card in VersaMark ink, I just applied the ink pad directly to the card, then sprinkled silver embossing powder over the top. Once it was heat set, I repeated the process again, and while it was still warm popped the diamond pattern from Grunge Rock into it to 'deboss' it.
I am entering this card into two challenges, the first is the Simply Stampin' Challenge, which is a sketch this week, and also the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger, I took a bit of artistic license on this one, and just went with the colours :)
Thanks for dropping by!
Don't forget my Blog Candy that ends this Thursday!
