This is my second card for today, please also check out my post for Gigi- You Aced It!
And my second card is using the stamp Zac Above Par, also from the May Release!
And here is the stamp and the sentiments included –
And here is a close up of my version –
I coloured the stamp with polychromo pencils on smooth kraft cardstock. I gave him a background using strong linear elements so I could match them on the frame later. Highlights made with White Posca pen.
Once I had coloured the image I cut out a wide frame for it also from Kraft card. I used the Stamp Anniething Grass and Cloud Stencil Builders with the Stamp Anniething Hybrid Inks – Parakeet, Caribbean Sea, Clear Skies and Birch. Because I needed a few extra colours I also used the Distress Oxide Inks – Fossilised Amber, Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint and Salty Ocean. For the white clouds I used Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink. (It’s my go-to white ink if I need a pop, it can be a bit goopy tho!)
To give some texture to the sandy parts of the frame I used the SA Cobblestone Stencil too. I then placed the frame over the coloured image with 3D foam, so the picture is recessed. I then mounted it all onto a white card blank.
I am super happy with how Zac turned out, I think I am addicted to colouring everything with a citrus flavour atm! Perhaps it’s to counteract the endless miserable UK rain? 😀
I am sure Stamp Anniething has many products to burn away those blues? Why not pop to the shop for a shufti? 😀
