Today I have made a postcard for the April Swap over at the Roc Nicholas FB page. This is so much fun to do. Why not hop over and take part as well ! Rules are simple, make a postcard using Roc's stamps, put it on her FB page and she will partner you up with somebody. So you will get a nice postcard back. Anyway, this is what I made :
I started with spraying some white card stock with Calypso Teal Dylusions Ink. I then used some water-soluble crayons to put some more colour on it; turquoise, purple and green in this case. I used a Dylusions stencil for the flowers with Distress Inks in turquoise, purple and green. The white dots were done by hand with a Versamark marker and white embossed. I also used a text stamp and black Archival Ink to create even more interest; also used the same ink to go around the edges of the card. Lastly I splattered some black India Ink over it. I stamped 'Blessed Skellie' on white card stock, coloured her with Copics and clear embossed her. I replaced her non-existing eye with the eye from the 'Feline' stamp. The words came from another Stampotique Stamp. Skellie was placed on some washi tape and that was that !
If you think these stamps are nice and you want some, you can find them HERE.
Thanks for stopping by !
Hope you like it....
The colours you've used for Blessed Skellie are so vibrant against the background - really nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of water soluble crayons did u use Corrie? I like how the background came out using them
ReplyDeleteThey are CaranD'ache Neocolor II watersoluble crayons. Hope this helps.

How fun! Absolutely love this background.
ReplyDeleteJe hebt er weer iets moois van gemaakt Corrie! Wat was het genieten op de beurs he? We moeten eens met de Europese zusjes bij elkaar komen, lijkt me te gek!
ReplyDeleteHet was inderdaad genieten op de beurs. Het zou inderdaad geweldig zijn om alle Europese zusjes bij elkaar te hebben, Coby !
DeleteWat was het heerlijk je (heel even) in het eggie te zien en aan te kunnen raken! Ik had geen idee hoe groot je was, maar je uitstraling, die had ik wel helemaal goed ingeschat... Ik hoop dat je genoten hebt en leuke workshops hebt gedaan.
ReplyDeleteGrappige kaart heb je hier weer gemaakt! Mooi hoe jij die achtergrond al een stuk sfeer laat meegeven aan de kaart! Groetjes, Gerrina
Hi Gerrina, ik vond het ook leuk om jou in levende lijve te zien. Maar je had het zo druk met je workshop... Ik hoop dat we elkaar nog een keertje kunnen zien en misschien tijd hebben voor een praatje !

Great use of both stamps, Corrie, but, especially clever how you used the eye from Feline and transplanted it here! Great background with rich colors set a perfect stage for Skellie!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours for this page, really funny stamp from Roc haha, love it! xx
