The current challenge at Art Impressions Stamps is to make your own background. I decided to create a plaid background upon which to place Art Impression’s funny character named (appropriately) “Spud”. I then paper pieced his recliner with the same plaid background. (Reminds me of the much loved and very ratty recliner in the sitcom “Frazier”.)
Printed off the sentiment for the front and inside of the card. Kinda like the results and entered into several other challenges.

The next card makes my mouth water! Printed Beccy’s Place free digi image “Strawberry Basket” onto Kraft brown cardstock, adding shading with tan maker and highlights with white colored pencil. Then cut the little blooms from another of Beccy’s free strawberry digi’s to add a bit of color contrast. Don't they look yummy?

ReplyDeleteWhat a great sense of humor you've shown with this card, Kathy! It really makes me giggle! Love how you matched the chair to the background. I'm so glad you shared your wonderful project with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge! hugs, Maura
ReplyDeleteTwo more wonderful cards to add to your stash Kathy, great job!
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job creating the background for the first card, and I love how you've used it for the chair too. I agree that it looks just like Marty's chair from Frasier... except for the duct tape!
You did a wonderful job with the strawberry basket on your second card, I particularly like the addition of the little flowers to add a contrast. You've coloured the berries perfectly, they look ripe and juicy.
Great job Kathy!
Cheers,
Beccy
Oh... I forgot about the duct tape on Marty's chair. That would be a fun addition. Will do that on my next card!
DeletePerfect pattern paper for the card. Love how you paper pieced the same pattern paper on the chair. Clever! Thanks for playing along Simon Says Stamp Patterned Paper challenge. Gayatri xx
