Hi there, its time for a new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and this time around we want to see a person or people. You do need to use a rubber or clear stamp though, no digis allowed! As always our lucky winner will receive a $20 voucher to spend at Flonzcraft!
I began with a brusho background made using shades of blue and green and a little bleach through a harlequin stencil. Once dry I stamped and embossed the flourishes (from Chocolate Baroque) with versamark and embossed with Black WOW EP, adding some highlights with a White Graph'It Shake Pen.
The focal image is also from Chocolate Baroque although sadly its now been retired. I stamped and embossed on white card, masked the edges and then sprinkled on my brushos and spritzed with water. I used bleach to remove the colour from the faces and clothes and to add highlights to the bikes.
To finish off I embossed some die cut letters with Black WOW EP to spell out the word 'Dad'
I'm entering this project in the following challenges:
Allsorts: Vintage
Cut it up: Ties for fathers day
Crafters Cafe: one for the boys
Crafty Cardmakers: shaped cards
Mod Squad: Masculine
Sister Act: anything goes
Sweet Stampin: Fathers Day or a special man
If you've got a minute., pop over and have a look at all the inspiration from my very talented DT sisters! Thanks for visiting today

Love the Brushos background and the focal stamp, shame it's retired... I have a thing about photo realistic stamps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card for a Dad... I love the vibrant brusho colours - I'm intrigued about the use of bleach though! Thank you for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers and more...

Oh I do love this card! I have that stamp too and it reminds me of us as kids all off on our bikes. Love that you used it with brushos and bleach, new twist on an older stamp
