Well.  After stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the boys out, I was putting the background together and I realized I could’ve gotten away with just stamping on the card front 😂

DETAILS

The little guy in the water has silver pen colored glasses, though in hindsight (does anyone else ever employ that EVERY time you finish a card?!!) his glasses are probably goggles.

ALPHABET CHALLENGE - K is for KITTENS

 

Hi friends, and welcome back to my new ALPHABET CHALLENGE DT card!

The theme this go-around is K is for Kittens / Cats. 

You have two whole weeks to play along, and you can enter up to three times any handcrafted items featuring the current theme!

DETAILS

Cats were colored in with alcohol ink markers. 

Sentiment was heat embossed in white detail powder.

Card base was dry embossed with SU’s Subtle folder. 

*TIP*

If tying a bow isn’t your thing but you’d like to add ribbon to your project, try adhering a straight length to your panel, attaching only on the reverse. Then simply tie another piece on as shown, either in matching or corresponding ribbon. Adding a blob of glue on the back side of the knot will keep things from shifting, and tacking the ends down with strong double-stick Glue Dots is helpful when sending out via post.

alcohol markers

Hi friends, and welcome back to another Alphabet Challenge J is for Just Kidding/Funny card.

You still have plenty of time to play along, and you can enter up to three times any handcrafted items featuring the current theme!

Playing along with this LITTLE RED WAGON Challenge 

#875 - Use a Stamp (ends 9/15)

and this 613 AVENUE CREATE September Anything Goes with Optional Twist:

 Bright and Breezy challenge  (ends 10/2)

I’ve always loved the movement in this image - I’ve tilted her even more to really get that skipping-along vibe. And of course the high fashion of the wealthy of the era - no athleisure out-and-about for those ladies! Fabrics were light and flowy and more beautifully colored than the black and white photos would ever indicate. 

SOME DETAILS

Our gal was stamped in black Memento ink, and colored in with Copics. Some gold metallic pen was added to the purse where brass rivets are. The purse was colored to mirror the fruit tones on her hat. 

Random fact: reddish-brown leather handbags were common in this era, often hand-tooled with patterns, and accented with small amounts of metal trim. 

Just a dash of gray marker helped ground her foot in the white space. 

The swirly under her purse was added as an after-thought to fill a too-blank space without filling up the white space! I thought it mirrored the flow of her hat ribbons nicely. 

Sentiment was stamped on yellow card stock and trimmed into rectangles to reflect her collar shape and color. The stamp came with the words in rectangle borders but it would be easy enough to get the same effect with a fine-line black marker. 

The white panel was corner rounded with a punch on opposite corners.

SUPPLIES

female stamp - B Line Design #BA816E On the Run

sentiment stamp - probably Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley

swirl stamp - Inkadinkado #97634 Dot Flourishes

rounded corner punch

alcohol markers

metallic gold pen

textured green cardstock
