Live It Up -card art

July 09, 2009 By: Pamela Category: Card Art

Have had these plastic tags for a while now, thought I’d dig them out and see what I could do with them. This card is built entirely around the tag (and then I almost didn’t leave room for it-lol)

Stamps used: CS2×2005 Shore Birds, CS2×3002-Fishy, red rubber: Mahalo (sun), Just Breathe (again) used cloud image to create sky, and foam on sea, Create A Scene (grasses), Bubbles (in a very light blue over the embossed fish just to add a bit of fun)

-Stamped the fish first in Palette Noir Black. Colored with BIC markers. Used an embossing pen all over it, and covered with clear ep. Heat set.
-Created water with Mini stamps pads by Martha Stewart, (wally-world). Started with a light color, added darker colors as I moved out towards the edge. Blended the lighter color back over the darker ones to give it a smoother look.  Stamped the bubbles in light blue ink, all over water.

-Stamped the shore birds, colored with BIC markers. Embossed with clear ep. Used Cat’s Eye ink pads to create a bit of ground/sand. Used the cloud stamp and SU white ink to do the ‘foam’ embossed with white ep.

-Stamped the sun using Orange Chalk ink.

-Stamped the clouds in same orange ink, light blue ink, and yellow inks.Used wc pencils to add more color to the sky, give it a sun set look. Blended a little bit with water brush.

-Stamped grasses in lettuce, and pesto inks (Ranger, Adirondack)

-Pop dotted tag, added ribbon, and stuck in place.

This one I used gold ep on….had a lot of fun with that! lol
