It was rain,
rain, rain today and of course, we decided to go and get groceries today! We do
hate having to go on a Saturday and its calling for more rain tomorrow anyway
so we thought we may as well bite the bullet and go. We only get groceries
about every 10 or 12 days….or sometimes two weeks….so when we need groceries,
we need groceries. The fridge starts to look a little bare!
This week’s
challenge at Stamping Bella was to make a card with a) one of her stamps; b)
fun papers; c) 3 bellies. Easy challenge for sure and yet I’m the only one that
sent a card in….except for her group that designs for her. I actually made two
cards, very similar but just sent one in. Here they are.
I sent in the
one with the green scooter and flower. I had these two images of “Seniorita Dolores”
stamped and almost all coloured but then didn’t finish them. The images were
mostly coloured with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol but then I added some
alcohol inks to finish them – why you ask? Because the alcohol markers were
sitting right beside me and I was too lazy to get up to get the pencils again.
Bad I know! I sponged the yellow and
blue around the image with chalk and brown chalk for the road and then added some
left over strips of gold lines. Once they were coloured I flipped through my
stash and found some green to mat them on and the other two fun papers that
just seemed to be something this “Seniorita” would like! They were taped
together on the back and on the front I added more gold strips along the join. The
images and the green mat were die cut with the Spellbinder Card Creator dies. The
sentiment came with the stamp and I sponged some green chalk over it while
still in the Spellbinder deckle edge die and attached it with dimensional glue
strips. The flowers were added along with a button centre and I called them
done!
Have a
wonderful weekend everyone!
Cheers
Violet
