Groovy Birthday {Scrapy Land Challenge #48}

Welcome to Scrapy Land Challenge #48.  The theme for today's challenge is Use an Image (digi or rubber), plus any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells.

The dies used in my project are:

Sue Wilson Designs: New York Collection-Madison Square

Taylored Expressions: Banner Stacklets 1

I used a couple different rubber stamps in this project.  The focal point is an older rubber stamp from Unity Stamp Co. and the flowers and sentiment are by Taylored Expressions.

The scooter was stamped a couple times, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out.  I wanted to add dimension by layering the both the front and back wheel fenders with pop dots.  The body of the scooter was covered with Glossy Accents and a touch of glitter was sprinkled onto the wet glue for added sparkle.

Once this was dry, I die cut the square from white cardstock, added a backdrop created with Bister wood stains, and adhered the scooter on top with dimensional dots.

The embedded embossing technique was used to create the sentiment.  I started out with a piece of yellow cardstock and heat embossed it with Clear embossing powder.  I then stamped the sentiment and flowers on top of this, covered the entire thing with more clear embossing powder and heat set it again.

You have until Sunday, Sept 4 to upload your project to the Scrapy Land Challenge Blog.  The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to go shopping at Scrapy Land.

Cheers

Today's card features the Die-Versions Mixed Drinks die and is a bright, fun card which would be perfect for celebrating just about anything.

To start off, I die cut the image twice from white cardstock and once from black fun foam.  I kept all the negative pieces from the first die cut and colored these with Copic markers.  Sunny Daze glitter was also added to the flower centers and Glossy Accents was added to the drinks.

After coloring the second die cut with Copic markers, I adhered this layer over the die cut with all negative pieces, automatically giving me extra dimension.  A trick I learned from my fellow team mate, Lisa, was to add a "shadow" die cut. (Thanks, Lisa.)  Instead of black cardstock, the image was die cut from black fun foam, my favorite way to add dimension without having to worry about cutting down dimensional dots to fit the space.

The corrugated circle was recycled from a cookie tin and Fireworks Ink spray (Dandelion) gave it a fun, vibrant color.  The background layer was created using Bister wood stains on regular cardstock and a water brush.

My sentiment was die cut using the DV Cuppycake font, colored with Copic markers, and then covered with Glossy Accents.

Big Wet Kisses

My aquarium shaped card showcases the new Big Wet Kisses stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I used the digi version and printed it out, colored it with Copic markers and did some fussy cutting.  I added a bit of shimmer to the fish with Memories Mists (Bright Gold and Copper Shimmer.)  The aquarium was a free clip art I found on Google.

The background was created with Bister wood stains and watercolor paper and Mudd Puddles (Ocean Water and Shells) create the sandy floor.  The fussy cut hearts were covered with Dimensional Glue and Gypsy Red velvet glitter.

For the inside, I wanted to replicate the front, so I added the digi sentiment to the center of my clip art and printed it.  The sand was created with Copics and the shells and sea weed are brads.  

Shimmer embossing powder was heat set onto the background of the fishbowl and Ice embossing powder was used to Bling my Brads - shells and seaweed.  (Click the link for the SNS tutorial on how to do this.) 

I outlined the sentiment with a Sakura glue pen and covered it with Gypsy Red velvet glitter for a bit of color and sparkle.
