TSG215, Normal Is Boring!

Hello, I made this for this weeks challenge TSG215 at There She Goes. The challenge was to use an Animal. My new stamps arrived this week, which included the Donkey University set, so that's what I used.

I coloured the Donkey with copics, using these colours
Hooves, W7, W5 and W3
Body, W5, W3, and W1
Hair and Nose, E42, E41, and E40
Ears E20 and R11

There's crystal effects on his eyes, and I stamped and cut out an extra nose & hair. The hair was added with a glue dot and the nose with a dimensional.

I had some tye-dye paper from the dollar store, so I used that for the T-shirt and card. I think he looks kinda cool!

Have a Great Day!

TSG214, Don't Forget The Rum!

I hope it's ok to enter the There She Goes challenge  more than once, because I had 2 ideas for cards and couldn't decide so I made both...this is the second, here's the first!

The challenge TSG214 is to case a Trendsetter, and I cased Wendy P, this is her card. For mine, I used the barrel from the Shiver Me Timbers set and the sentiment is from the Ship Happens set.

I stamped the barrel 3 times, and coloured with copics. I also added some silver copic atyou spica to the metal bands. Then I cut them out and popped up the one in the front.

The card base is black, with a layer of the new SU smokey slate embossed with the clockworks EF. I sponged the edges with the matching ink and then rubbed on some silver ink from my encore ink pad. For the black strip I distressed the edges a bit and then the creamy caramel piece was scrunched up, and sponged with matching ink, I also ran the pad across the piece to catch the raised bits and give it a bit of a worn leathery look!

Have a Great Day!

TSG214, How Arrr you Doing?

Hello, I made this for this weeks challenge TSG214 over at There She Goes! This weeks challenge is to Case a Trendsetter, and you have to case something made for the recent release!

I cased Wendy P, and you can see her card Here! 

I used the Shiver Me Timbers set. I coloured the pirate with copics and added a bit of silver gelly roll pen to his belt buckle and silver copic atyou spica to highlight the blade of his sword. The background was stamped with the little skull & crossbones from the set, but it's hard to see in the photo.

Have a Great Day!
