It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here today to share a project created for an "Anything Goes" theme this week. I've been in an odd mood so I created an odd card with two of the critters from the Sea Creatures Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set KTZ226 by Katzelkraft, a sentiment from the No Regrets Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Visible Image, and patterned paper from the Ombre 6x6 Patterned Paper Pad by Craft Consortium Ltd. I also used Bermuda, Blue Atoll, Della Blue, and Confetti Elements Premium Dye Inks by Lavinia Stamps!
Here it is!
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the startled-looking odd creature and the pelican from the Sea Creatures Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set KTZ226 by Katzelkraft twice — once onto white Copic friendly cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
Fussy-cut the sticker versions of the stamped creatures and set them aside to be used as masks.
Use Copic markers to color the creatures.
Place a piece of clear acetate horizontally across the image panel right above the bottom of the critters, being sure that the acetate is covering the top of the image panel.
Brush or sponge Bermuda Elements Premium Dye Ink by Lavinia Stamps over the acetate onto the bottom part of the image panel so that it's covering the bottom portion of the creatures. Brush or sponge Blue Atoll Elements Premium Dye Ink over the acetate to complete their watery background.
Remove the acetate. Clean and dry it. Place the sticker paper versions of the critters over their counterparts on the image panel. Place the acetate panel so that it's sitting on the horizontal inked line covering the bottom part of the image panel.
Brush or sponge Della Blue Elements Premium Dye Ink onto the image panel, working horizontally from the top of the panel down to the acetate to create a sky background. Brush or sponge Confetti Elements Premium Dye Ink over the image panel to add some pink hues to the sky.
Use an alcohol filled Fine Spray Misters by Spectrum Noir to mist the background. This will blend and mottle the ink.
Remove the masks and the acetate from the image panel. Use a N6 Copic marker to increase the size of the worried-looking creature's pupil. Use a white gel pen to add a highlight to its pupil.
Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the "Karma" sentiment from the No Regrets Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Visible Image.
Trim the image panel and edge with Bermuda and Della Blue Elements Premium Dye Inks.
Select a piece of patterned paper from the Ombre 6x6 Patterned Paper Pad by Craft Consortium Ltd. to match the image panel. This will be the background panel.
Adhere the image panel so that it's centered on the patterned paper, then trim the background panel so that there are even borders around it.
Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to edge the patterned paper, then adhere the card front to a black card.
