Day 27. Blue Mountains & Giveaway

challenge_graphic-650-october

Hello Friends, Anything new and different from yesterday! 🙂 I am pretty dang excited because I actually made a CARD and I have a GIVEAWAY! Woo Hoo!

A few weeks ago I posted these sweet deers from The Greeting Farm and promised a giveaway. Today is the day. I feel like everyday I am loving a different stamp from a different company but, it’s true. Basically I love stamping and love working with awesome stamps like these. I mean how cute right!!!

If I did another plaid scarf I thought…well that I need to expand my patterns lol. I was going for a contemporary camouflage fabric. I used this “Falling Snow“stencil (yay it’s back in stock) and some white embossing paste. The sentiment was stamped on this nice and thick 40 lb. vellum.

I did some quick coloring and I mean quick. Throw some color on and then blend it out with a light color. After that I went over the lighter areas with a “0” . Then I used my rag technique yet again with some blending solution. Have I convinced you to try it yet? ( I used RV10 on the cheeks and belly)

I saw some amazing mountains posted on Instragram so I took a screen shot of it and tried to get a similar look. Just draw some basic lines for reals!

Then color it with some blues. I used the chisel end for some quick coloring. If you are wondering I still had plenty of ink left in my marker.

    I have tried the rag technique. Used some painter’s tape to hold it together. It’s amazing how it textures the image. I still can’t believe it was you at SSS. So cool to meet you. Keep doing the fabulous things you do. By the way…love the bear and his scarf and the mountains…again with the fabulous.

    Oh my gosh! Another great job done by you and another place for me to buy more stamps! Thanks! LOL I love how you did the mountains too and the bear is so cute! Are those the Blue Ridge Mountains or are they blue because it’s winter and its cold? Inquiring minds want to know! LOL Nice job as always!
