Let’s Craft and Create- #156 Anything Goes (March option- Easter)

Friday also means that I get to share DT cards for the Colour Crazy Challenge. This challenge is also an “Anything Goes” but if adds a requirement- the creation needs to include coloring in “any colouring medium you like, onto any project you like, and in any colours you like.” I’ve never outgrown my love for coloring… which is why making cards is stress therapy for me!! Our sponsor this week is Dr. Digi and I enjoyed creating a card that features a sweet image  named “Cuddly Critters Panda.”  The image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. I created the 3-D paper heart with a template and instructions available HERE. I used an Exacto knife to cut a slit around his paw then slid the heart under it so it looks like he’s holding it close! The Love sentiment is a freebie from mudmaven.blogspot.com.

A Perfect Time to Craft 2020-Anything Goes- Challenge #3-2020

My final card for this posting features an image that I actually drew in 1997 for Petersen Rubber Stamps. This husband and wife's home business in South Dakota featured a small line of wood-mount rubber stamps that were sold mainly through craft shows across the nation. Donna Petersen and her husband spent part of the year creating stamps with a vulcanizer (she once showed me how it worked. Pretty impressive!) The rest of the year, they loaded up their motor home and set up sales booths at flea markets across Arizona, Texas, Florida and other “Snowbird” states.  I'd drawn several designs for Donna and it was fun to see them featured in her collection. This Viking image was one of the best sellers. (Possibly because there were so many Minnesota Viking fans in South Dakota, and also Norwegians!) 

For this card I wanted the image to have a soft, rustic feeling so opted to use watercolors and chalks instead of my usual alcohol markers. A Sharpie silver pen added silver accents. I added one of my favorite computer generated sentiments, turning the card into three “panels” (front, inside left and inside right) to fit the entire sentiment on a regular A2 card.  I provided close-ups of the inside panels so you can see the details. So fun!

 

Supplies: 

·    Image- Petersen Stamps (Original Viking Design- no longer available)

·    Sentiments- Computer Generated

·    Colored with Tombow watercolor markers, Sharpie Silver pen and chalks  

·    Assorted background papers from my stash
