Hi everyone, summer is flying by, and it’s time once more for another I Spy With My Little Eye... challenge over at Ellibelle's Corner. Thanks so much to everyone who joined in last time - please do check over on Ellie’s blog to see if you are one of our top picks.
I chose the challenge theme this month, and it is
I Spy With My Little Eye
*** Warm and Sunny Colours ***
We hope you’ll be inspired by the warm and sunny weather we’ve been having, and look forward to seeing your makes. Please don’t forget to pop over to Ellie's blog to see her fab creation and link up your entries here.
This month we are delighted to again welcome a guest designer - Fiona - so please click on her name to visit her blog and see her fabulous creation.
Here’s my card for the challenge. I wanted to make something sunray related, but I don’t have a specific sunray stencil, though I do have a Strobes stencil by Visible Image. I decided to go with that, and a dramatic focal silhouette image by Indigo Blu to make a change from my recent floral scenes.
I cut a square of stamping white card and softened the whiteness by smooshing with Lemon Drop Elements ink. I then applied Sundance and Russet Orange Elements through the stencil to create a sunburst effect. I stamped the focal image - Indigo Blu ‘Juliet’ - and added a few white Posca highlights, then added some background circle stamping round the edges using Cheerful and Summertime VFC. I stamped the sentiment and a couple of grungy lines, then matted the finished piece onto black and yellow card stock and a 6” square card blank. To finish I added a teeny orange heart gem.
Stamps: Indigo Blu ‘Juliet’, ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ (free with craft magazine); unbranded background circle and grungy line stamps from Amazon;
Media: Lavinia Elements inks (Lemon Drop, Sundance, Russet Orange); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Cheerful, Summertime); Posca pen (white);
Tools: Visible Image Strobes stencil.
