Good Monday morning, friends! It's Walter on the blog with you today and this week's theme for the Design Team is Anything Goes. I have a rather funky and artsy design to share with you - one that I had a lot of fun creating. I had the idea for a design like this since the first time that I saw the PaperArtsy Figures Stamp Set and the corresponding Stencil. The phrase "shadows of herself" popped into my mind at that moment and I finally decided to put it onto paper. This design includes two shadows and a central figure who dreams of much more simple times of the past. The vintage newspaper ads represent the past in this case.
It's actually quite an easy card to make - lots of stenciling, masking (the stencil set includes the masks for the figures), ink blending, and a little stamping. That's it! I thought it would be fun to use the PaperArtsy Advertising Edition Stamp Set to fill in the center figure and give it a nostalgic theme. I used a gold metallic gel pen to outline her and make her pop a bit. The shadows were colored with cool gray alcohol markers so that you may still see the stenciled details through them and really make it a shadow-like effect. I finished off the figure and shadows with some Wink of Stella to give the design a little sparkle.
