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.
