Hi!
I hope you all are having a wonderful day today!!! I am assuming that the majority of you who are reading this are not Father's so I won't bother wishing you a Happy Father's Day!!! LOL!!!!
Here is my card that I made for today's Featured Stamper ~ Denise ~ AKA: Denidill!The card of Denise's that I chose to CASE is here!! Her gallery is just awesome! I changed everything except the layout ~ as usual!! LOL!!!
The base of my card is Basic Black. The floral decorative paper is from Bo Bunny and is their new Beachy Keen line. The polka dot cardstock is also from Bo Bunny and is called Decaf Dot. The top scalloped edge is another Bo Bunny piece that is 2-sided cardstock and is called Ocean Dot. I cut the Ocean Dot cardstock using my scalloped scissors and adhered it so the dots would not show ~ they are on the back and are basically like the Decaf Dot ones. I used my Scor-pal to make a line at the top on the Basic Black cardstock and then added piercing along the entire top. I also added piercing on the floral paper. The focal image was first stamped on some old water paper I had using Basic Black ink and then cut out so the bottom of the duck was in the water. I then stamped the duck, from Artful Inkables, on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink. I also stamped the duck on a piece of scrap copy paper and cut it out so I could use it as a mask when I stamped the Cattails! I stamped the Cattails over the top of the masked duck using Basic Black ink as well. I stamped the No Swimming sign on a piece of scrap Whisper White cardstock and cut it out. All of the stamps are by Artful Inkables. I LOVE these stamps and haven't used them for ages! BTW ~ I noticed when I went to link the store, Kristin is looking for design team members! Her stamps are awesome so if you are interested, check out the Artful Inkables link above.
OK, on to the rest of my card!!! I adhered the water down on top of the previously stamped duck. I colored the duck, cattails and sign using my Prismacolor pencils. I did add a little cream color pencil on the duck just to add a little color. Did you REALLY think I wouldn't have used my Caramel Latte fun flock on the cattails!?!?!? I adhered it on using my Quickie glue pen! I also used my metallic silver pen for the nail on sign and I also added some Copic Spica clear glitter to duckies eyelashes. The bottom hemp type ribbon is some old ribbon I had from Rusty Pickle and then I layered the black and white ribbon (Michael's) on top and then added a little Bo Bunny yellow polka dot to add some color! I mounted the image on the front using Pop Dots and adhered the No Swimming sign using dimensionals. The last thing I did was round the bottom corners using my Creative Memories corner rounder punch.
I do want to take a moment to thank those of you that did or will be taking part in our OCC (Our Creative Corner) first weekly challenge yesterday!!! We had such a wonderful response and are so happy about it!!! There are no time limits to play so if you missed it and would like to play, the link is HERE! We will have a new challenge and samples for you next Saturday!!! Also, the SCS keyword entry was changed to OCCC (Our Creative Corner Challenge). There was already an OCC keyword gallery on SCS already so I think we are squared away now!!! Thank you so much!!!
Have a great day!!!
