Hello Friends,
Thank you for your comments on my last two posts, especially the wreath, which was something I really enjoyed making - glad you liked it!
Today I'm sharing a recent card I made for a 12 year old boy cousin. I made it using a digital stamp. I usually keep a note of where I find the digis to give the site credit here, but this time I didn't and I've searched but can't find it again! I'll keep looking.
I used a 6x6 card blank and covered the base layer with grey card. I used a shoe print
M-Bossability folder (Spellbinders) with matt silver card for the background layer.
The image is coloured using Chameleon pens. I tore the card around the image in to rectangle shape and then added detailing using the following Sizzix dies:
Tim Holz Alterations - Artful Arrows
Tim Holz Alterations - Mini Clipboard
Sizzix Bigz - Primitive Stars
I stamped the arrow on a left over piece from the embossed card, and once I had die cut the star and clip, I sanded the card to give it a rough texture.
The greeting was stamped on to black card using silver ink.
Thank you so much for stopping by,
Love and Hugs

Hi Carole,
ReplyDeleteoh I do love this really great card.
It's so perfect for a teenager, and you have done such a really ace job of the colouring.
Wonderful design as always.
I can't seem to get on with my Chameleon pens, they are alright for smaller images, and flowers, but just can't manage skin, and larger areas of colouring.
So I am so pleased to see your fab colouring of the boots with them.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hey Carole, thanks for the visit earlier. I love this, very cool for a moody teen :) Foot is on the mend..I have been over doing it and need to slow down, but all good. Cx
ReplyDeleteHi Carole this is a fantastic card I bet your cousin was thrilled to receive it. Enjoy the rest of the week. Hugs Jackie

ReplyDeleteLove this Carole, such a difficult age to cater for when making cards but managed it perfectly.The digi image reminds me of one of the stamps from WoodWare. Great colouring & arrow etc. I bet your cousin loved it.

Brilliant card Carole, love it. I have been using the Chameleon pens and love those too. I recognise the embossing folder, just perfect with the digi.
