This week our challenge was to use Red, White and Blue. I decided to combine this with another challenge I missed this week for Monday Technostamper Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.
I'm so thrilled I decided to try this layout as I absolutely love it so I did 2 cards again. I used a few more images I had laying around.
The card on the left uses the Penguin from Imaginesce and I knew when we were given this challenge that I wanted to use him. I just couldn't figure out the coloring medium I wanted to use so this is about my 4th one. I tried colored pencils, pure color pencils, markers and finally settled on watercolor/marker combo. Do you remember during the hot summer months eating Bomb pops? We used to always get these from the ice cream truck that came around. I used the shaving cream technique for the background on the front along with faux brads with my white signo gel pen in the photo corners.
For the other card I used one of my new images from Stampotique called Peacock. I used my pure color pencils on this, it's very plain looking card with no embellishments but I'm okay with that. I printed out the phrase on my computer "Birds of a feather flock together" which I thought was a perfect sentiment for Peacock. The background paper is retired Stampin'Up!
Have a great holiday weekend, I have one more card to share in another post.
