Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far and that the weather is being kind to you.
I know its still the middle of Summer but as a card maker we try to get ahead and that sometimes feels like were making cards at the wrong time of the year...but I promise you it makes sense in the craft world LOL
It's time for the Design Team to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog. I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!
Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!
The digital stamp I have chosen is Apple Barrel Fox, resized for my smaller A6 card before printing out and colouring with Promarkers. I then used my ScannCut to cut out Freddy although it could easily be cut by hand.
I wanted to create lots of layers and textures for my card today so used lots yellow and orange distress inks to create an ink smooshed panel on watercolour card, allowing each colour to dry before adding the next colour, building up layers slowly.
Next I added interest to this panel, stamping leaves and dots in distress oxide inks and added some gold stencilling too here and there.
I tore down the right hand side of the inked panel, leaving the white core exposed and then chose a couple of papers from the collection adding strips below the inked panel again with torn edges.
I used an arched dies to create a frame, in yellow and orange card and adhered this to the panel on the card.
My coloured Freddy image was mounted onto the card with foam tape.
I then stamped leaves from the leftover distress ink panel and hand cut these out. I had a few mushrooms left over from another project so decided to colour these with orange and yellow alcohol pens to coordinate with the theme and layered these at the bottom of the card, along with a sentiment from the Freddy Fox collection.
To finish off my card today I've added white gelly roll pen highlights and scattered orange gems around the design as I always love a little sparkle on my cards.
Hasta luego 👋
Enjoy the rest of your day !
