Inky Paws

Some of the girls over at SCS decided to do some challenges this weekend. Nothing formal, just to get some creative juices flowing. Here are the 3 challenges:

1- Make a one layer card (this is the one I’ll be showing in this post)

2- Use a brand new stamp

3- Use a stamp that you had for a while that is being neglected.

I decided to use two brand new stamps from Rubbernecker Stamp Co. (from the Stamp Oasis section). I thought this sentiment was perfect for the end of what’s been a challenging year for me. It’s been a year of lots of new and exciting things and some sadness. I lost people who were dear to me….. but I also gained many new friends. Rhythms.

Here’s my One Layer (with brand new stamps) card:

The butterfly and sentiment were stamped in Ranger Distress Walnut Stain on white CS. I added the dotty “flight trail” with an Faber-Castell Artist Pen. The butterfly was colored with Primacolor Pencils (Orange, Orange Soleil) and blended with Gamsol (odorless mineral spirits) and a blending stump. I used the Gris Francais 70% pencil to shadow the butterfly, flight trail and the letters on the sentiment.

The edge of the card was sponged in Ranger Distress Tea Dye ink and a sponge. I doodled the corner details with an Artist Pen and added little dots with a White gel pen. I added ribbon and hemp.
