Since this is sketch week and not CAS week, the design I came up with is definitely not clean, although technically it is pretty simple. Let's take a look!
Colorful, yes? Also, cute, right? I adore so many of the stamps from Whimsy Stamps, but especially this wizard with his little dragon and the cute frog!!
Anyway, I started with a white card base and since I needed a landscape layout, it became a sidefold. After stamping and masking the images, I opened the card, laid it flat and taped off the back so I could ink blend on the front, using Distress inks in green, blue and purple.
Next, the masks were removed and I colored the images with Copic markers. I did lean on a couple of samples by amazing Jennifer Dove on the web site, for shading ideas. Once the coloring was done, I put the masks back over the images, then splattered the background using a paint brush dipped in an iridescent spray.
I love how this turned out. The funny thing is that cutting out the masks was some of the most time-consuming things about the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by. My fabulously talented teammates have lots of wonderful cards for your inspiration, so I encourage you to visit the blog before heading off to your crafty space. The challenge will be open until 3pm EDT Friday, June 27th. I hope to see your card in the gallery!
Take care!
