Kiss Kiss!

I can just imagine the look on my teenage grandson's face if I did that to him!  But this week at the Friday Mashup it's all about Kissing.  Don't you just love this pic on the graphic that Holly came up with?

The kissing technique is not one I go to often and I'm really happy with the end result here.

I went for making my own background papers and had this square card all figured out an then remembered that Round was also part of the challenge!  Oh dear, back to the drawing board, so I ended up keeping the layout and placing it on a large scallop circle, the natrual ivory card is behind that.  I ran the circle through the crimper to add something less feminine and heavily sponged Marina Mist and Night of Navy on the scallops

SUs Extreme Guitar is a solid stamp and seemed to be perfect for the Kissing part of this challenge, I used Extreme Elements and Grunge Rock stamp sets as well and just kept layering the images in Early Expresso, Soft Suede, Marina Mist and Night of Navy.  

I've also done some pretty special stuff with the guitar image on the background papers, I've inked the stamp up with Soft Suede, then dabbed a sponge in Champagne Shimmer Paint over the top, when you stamp it, you have this amazing copper sparkly colour which is gorgeous IRL.

Here's a close up of the main image and you can see the kissed image more clearly, I've dabbed the Champagne shimmer mist over the image and the background again to add a bit more grunge.

The Friday Mashup DT have outdone themselves this week with an amazing selection of inspiration cards for you.

Can't wait to see your Kiss, Kiss projects! 

Cheers,

Ohhh one of my favourite colour combos

Hi again, imagine that, three posts in one day!  Not necessarily unusual for me.  I had to rush off this moning when I realised I'd posted my Friday Mashup DT card early and didn't have time to recall the post and reschedule,  I had to go pick up my grandson as we were heading off to the movies.  We saw Happy Feet Two.  It was OK, not quite up to the first one though.

I've had some time to do some more crafting this afternoon and here's what I came up with.

This is the first time I've followed a Deconstructed sketch and I had fun with it.  I've also used Stampin' Royalty colour combo as it is one of my all time faves.

Hope you like my card.  Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers,

Grunge Birthday

The colour challenge over at Play Date Cafe just called out for the Shaving Cream technique, as a few of my recent posts show, I'm having fun creating with this technique.

And this card is just loaded with Technique...lets see....two different sheets of paper using the shaving cream technique.  Dry Embossing, Big shot dies and layering, background stamping, layering of stamps oh and sponging....overdone?  Unfortunately, there is no heat embossing as my heat gun died and the toaster just doesn't cut it!

I've used Extreme Elements and Grunge Rock stamp sets, these two are made for each other for Teen and Male cards and you can get such different looks with the sets each time.  I've also used Brilliant Blue (retired), Tempting Turquoise and Garden Green along with Naturals Ivory which is one of my favourite neutrals.
