WISH BRIGHT

Big hello!

SUPPLIES

STAMP:  Rare Image Rubber Stamps (from my own sheets of rubber - this is from the Vintage Children sheet.  See sidebar for more samples.  If you have interest is owning one you can email me nancyj208@gmail.com :o)

INKS:  Versamark, Momento Tuxedo Black

PENCILS:  assorted including Prismacolor

EMBOSSING POWDER:  PSX Silver Pearl (I know! probably an antique!)

EMBELLISHMENTS:  Stampendous Diamond Dot Stickers dots, PSX paper, rock, scissors by Duncan star 


STEPS

1.  Cut kraft cardstock to size
2.  Stamp figure in lower corner and color in with pencils
3.  Draw a faint border in blue pencil with a ruler as guide
4.  Use blue pencils to fill in sky, starting with darkest in corner
5.  Affix bling elements as shown
6.  Fill in around figure with the two darker blue pencils
7.  Ink sentiment with Versamark and stamp as shown.  
8.  Cover sentiment with silvery powder and heat emboss
9.  Affix image panel to white card base




There is some glare from the wax in the colored pencils.  Very tricky to get an angle where the silvery embossing showed in a photo without the accompanying glare. 



This image is from a stamp sheet copyright 2011 and I have been using it that long, but is still available so not sure if that counts per Challenge rules?!


Best wishes!!
