Greetings everyone! My name is Laura Fulcher and you should be joining me from Kelly Gettelfinger's blog.
For my card today, I wanted to share a background I created with Impression Obsession Cover a Card stamps as well as one of their new Christmas images.
First, I started with the Metal Cover a Card background and stamped it onto a blue notecard with Colorbox Chalk Azurite ink:
Next, I stamped on top of that background with the Snowflakes Cover a Card background using Versafine Magestic Blue ink:
I thought the two backgrounds combined looked a bit like snowflakes with fractals.
Next on the agenda was the car with tree on the roof (called To Grandmother's House).. I colored the whole thing with Zig Clean Color Brush markers and a waterbrush. Here is a bit more detail:
Instructions:
·
Stamp car onto 140lb watercolor paper with black archival ink.
·
Allow ink to dry
·
Color a line of brown under the car and blend
with a waterbrush
·
Color the top and sides of the card windows
lightly with blue marker and blend with waterbrush
·
Color the tree sections with a line of green and
a line of light green marker. Blend with
waterbrush
·
Color the car with a line of red marker at the
top (area under the windows)
·
Color a line of pink underneath the red and
blend some with the pink marker
·
Blend side of the car with waterbrush
·
Color the tires grey (no blending)
·
Add accents with light grey marker
I finished the card by adding the Warm and Cheery sentiment.
I hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to visit the next person on the hop list:
