{Tue} Technique: Stenciled Subway Art Background Summer Card
Tuesday, July 12, 2016
Hello, Kraftie Friends!
I had no internet last Friday, then was out of town...didn't post much last week, either...but I'm back with a card, that I was supposed to finish in the afternoon (but didn't), so sorry for the poor lighting...
will be back tomorrow with a better photo!
I created my own "subway art" background using Simon Says Stamp Stencil BIG WORDS and Simon Says Clear Stamps POOL PLAY.
First, I stenciled the words using a mix of blue inks that were on my Ranger MINI ROUND INK BLENDING TOOL plus Tsukineko Memento Ink Pad SUMMER SKY. Then I stamped the definition image, using the same Memento Ink Pad SUMMER SKY, and generational stamping.
I also stamped "fun in the sun" on 2 corners, using Memento Ink Pad CANTALOUPE.
The stamp set has matching dies (Simon Says Stamp SUMMER FUN Wafer Dies), so I cut out the boy shape and stamped it, using Memento TUXEDO BLACK, and adhered it on card.
I colored the boy with colored pencil (skin), Copic markers for the hair, and Tim Holtz Distress Markers PEACOCK FEATHERS and SQUEEZED LEMONADE (Ranger) on swimming trunk and gears.
I also diluted Simon Says Stamp Premium Dye Ink Pad ISLAND BLUE with water and watercolored the gears.
To finish it off, I stamped the fish and bubbles with ISLAND BLUE, adhered the panel on blue card base and inked the edges, using Ranger MINI ROUND INK BLENDING TOOL and ISLAND BLUE.
If you like the stamp set and dies, you can get the bundle: Simon Says Stamps and Die Set HAPPY SWIMMERS Set.
