MMTPT151, Designer Dodge Balls!

Hello I made this for this weeks Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT151! This weeks challenge is to bring round cards, I'm so glad I bought this die last week, it's perfect for round cards.

This weeks Destination Station is to Sandy, a friend of fellow Teapotter Charlene (Cookiebaker) who is currently undergoing chemo for her second bout with breast cancer. Because of this, I decided to use Breast Cancer Stella, from Totally Stampalicious, but I didn't use the traditional pink!

The colours I used are this weeks colour challenge colours CC328, cherry night cakes!

Stella was coloured with copics, I paper pieced her dress and added pearls for earrings.

The card base was made with a Marianne Designs Die LR0112. The card stock was folded in half and then I placed the die off the fold a bit for the front & back would stay attached.

The faux denim was made earlier, please follow this link for the Faux Denim Tutorial!

The branches were made with the 2 step bird punch. The button is chipboard, I covered it with cardstock to match and tied on some linen thread.

Stamps: Breast Cancer Stella
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Bashful Blue, Vanilla Neenah solar crest, SU dp
Ink: memento tuxedo black, night of navy, crumb cake
Accessories: copics, petite oval/scallop nesties, circle nesties, Marianne Designs LR0112, distressing tool, 2 step bird punch, linen thread, dimensionals, chipboard button


Have a Great Day!

Faux Denim Tutorial!

Hello, as promised here is a picture Tutorial on the fauz denim technique! I can't take credit for this, I saw it somewhere online, I'm sorry I can't remember where! So here is my version

You need a piece of bashful blue cardstock and a night of navy ink pad. Open the ink pad and while holding it on an angle, rub in down the width of the cardstock.
Then do the same thing rubbing it done the cardstock lengthwise. Keep repeating these steps un til you have the desired denim look!
I thought of this yesterday, cover the canvas background stamp with night of navy ink, off stamp then stamp the back of your faux denim. This really makes the back look like the back of denim.
To give it a more worn look, you a distressing tool or scissors to rough up the edges.
Here you can see the corner curled up corner with the back finished!

This would work well for black denim too. Try adding piercing, faux or real stitching, you can even add some bling like you see on designer jeans!

In case you missed it, here's a link to my finished card from yesterday!

Have a Great Day,
Laurie
