Hi
Stampers!!
This
week’s PP248 Paper Players Theme is "Masculine", so I wanted to share a card that
I created for a dear friend that is experiencing pain with some undiagnosed
health issues.
I
also incorporated the Splitcoaststampers’ CC526 Color Challenge (see details here and gallery here) and SC534 Sketch Challenge (see details here and gallery here).
We
are praying that the doctors will be able to identify the source of the pain
and be able to give him some relief.
Again,
if you have not already done so, I hope you will find the time to visit the
above sites to check out the wonderful Design Team samples as well as the galleries!
To create
this card:
Stamp the
Geese and Trees (Impression Obsession®)
focal image using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.
Using an AquaPainter™, apply Tempting
Turquiose, Rose Red and Island Indigo Classic Ink to the sky area (brushing
some across the moon to resemble clouds).
Use a
Faber-Castell® Pitt Pen Black Marker to darken the branches (and fill in the “snow” that is on the branches from the original image- the pointellism in the background is part of the stamp :-)).
Apply a bit
of gray to the geese with a Stampin’ Up! retired watercolor pencil.
Trim the
image and mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.
Use the
Crimper Tool to crimp a piece of retired Designer Series Paper (DSP) and distress the edges with the Distressing
Tool.
Tear the
bottom and roll up by hand- distressing with your fingernail, adhere the
distressed panel onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock, trim the panel again and
mount onto the Whisper White card base.
Add the
focal image panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Stamp the
sentiment from My Favorite Things® Sympathy using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, create the
banner points with the Hexagon Punch and mount onto a piece of Basic Black
cardstock (creating matching banner points with the Hexagon Punch as well).
Ink the
large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink, stamp
off onto a scrap piece of paper and stamp onto the sentiment.
Use the
AquaPainter™ to apply diluted Tempting Turquoise over the sentiment and mount
the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

Oh my goodness Julie - am I reading this right, you put in all those teeny tiny dots by hand???! That's dedication for sure and so worth it - I love the effect. Your card is amazing as always, with a beautifully natural looking evening sky. Thanks so much for joining my masculine challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne! Oh no, so sorry if it was misleading- the pointellism of the background is part of the stamped image- I just darkened the snow that is normally on the branches so that it would not be a winter scene :-) I do love doing pen and ink with the pointellism technique though :-) Thanks again for the inspiration for the challenge and your sweet comments :-)
ReplyDeleteJulie, this is gorgeous and I know your friend will find great comfort from it. Beautiful composition and beautiful technique. So glad you joined us at the Paper Players this week
