Happy Weekend!!!
Today I have a special card to show you. I pulled out all the stops on this one. You see, hubby built me a new craft room and I really wanted to earn the new Stampin' Storage items from Stampin' Up! to add to my beautiful new space.
I entered a technique challenge hosted by my Upline, Linda Bauwin. Linda really stretches my imagination when she offers these challenges. Here's the card I submitted for the
Technique Challenge.
My goal was to make the horse look like he was in a tin shed, so I went with the Faux Patina technique by using gold, copper and silver embossing powders on Crumb Cake Card Stock. I added and heat set them all 3 separately. Once they were dry, I ran the panels through the Big Shot with the corrugated embossing folder.
A simple inside of the card.
I hung the "sign" using a copper metallic brad and linen thread by poking holes through the back of it with my paper piercer on the Take Your Pick tool, threading it through the front and tying knots on both sides.
The horse was done using two more techniques - Mirroring and No-Line Watercoloring with the Stampin' Blends. Side Note: I am left-handed so when I draw horses, this is the natural direction for them to be facing 😉 I used my Stamparatus &Silicone Sheet to mirror him. Being that my perfect horse, Sunny, is a Palomino, I just HAD to figure out how to make a Palomino with this stamp set. Viola! No-Line Watercoloring using Versamark and clear embossing powder! I see many more Palominos coming out of the Let It Ride stamp set now!
This card was so much fun for me to do! I'm so blessed to be able to do what I love and love what I do!
