Adventure

I hope you are having a wonderful day? It is time for Scrapy Land challenge #21 and the theme for this week is anything goes all you need to do is use the dies cuts that Scrapy Land sells at the store. You have a chance to win a $15.00 gift card to buy something at the store.

Some of the stamps are from Stampscapes man and boy walking, geese, branch. Some of the other stamps are from Art Impression Wheat and Hut and chair.

Down a little I try and tell you how I made the background. These types of backgrounds are to me so easy to make but I have been doing them for years. I hope you understand what I’m trying to tell you. If not just ask.

Added some stickles crushed pineapple and star dust.

These are the die cuts I used on my card Impression Obsession Die184-L and Die198-C and the Sizzix thinlits #660220 and #660224.

Added some of the die cuts to the side.

This is how the inside turned out. Using some of the die cuts. Here is the close up of the scene.

I think it is kind of hard to read the writing so if you click on any of the pictures they will get big so you can read it better.

I really should of taken more pictures but it is the same over and over.

You can even add some white pen to add ripples in the water.

I normally punch out a half inch circle to use as the sun or moon. Once you remove the paper them start color it. If you color it before your paper does not want to stick. These colors I used in the Brilliance ink moonlight white, Mediterranean blue, ice blue, coral, beige, sky blue, orange and yellow. Now I do like using the distress inks also.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week.

The image I used for this week is called “Cartoon Cowboy Twirling a Lariat”. The papers used are all from my scraps. How are you doing using up your scraps?

The dies on the front are spellbinders in’spire hat cowgirl style and cattails from Scrappy Land store.

I think the hat cuts out really pretty.

This is how the inside turned out.

Spellbinder in’spire cowgirl stoop die from Scrapy Land.

These are the copic masrkers used to color the image.

Here is the close up.

Have a great week end. My grandson Isaiah is here for the summer from South Dakota and we plan on doing something with all the grandkids this week end.

SCACD celebrates today a newly released exclusive rubber stamp set Eclectic Sea (9 rubber stamps all together). The Eclectic Sea is a twist of sorts in how something land bound might be seen in the ocean; for example a Sunflower that is now a Coral Sea Flower and vice a versa. So check out the collection as these are really unique and elegant. SCACD Artist Carmen Medlin and Susana collaborated on the images and we are so happy to be showcasing them to you now. The stamp I’m using is called Angelfish Trio. Now available for purchase in the USA HERE  for the Eclectic Seas collection. Our International Friends if interested can email Susana.

Stamped the Angelfish with memento tuxedo black on cryogen paper. I used watercolors to do the background different shades of blues. I looked up Angelfish on the computer and I could not believe how many different kinds their was. I liked this one but I could not fine a name for it.

Angelfish are so shinny so the Wink a Stella would work wonderful for coloring them. So the color used was blue and clear. Used diamond glaze for the bubbles. The very little fish I wanted him to be so far in the background so I colored him with Wink a Stella silver.


Thanks for stopping by and have a super week end.
