Shake, Rattle & Roll

This weeks Art Impression - Challenge 178 Shake, Rattle & Roll. 

 

I decided to use one of the new AI stamps. These girls are having so much fun. To me it looks like that they are at some sort of fun party or reception and are goofing off in the photo booth getting their picture taken.

 

 

I colored the girls with Copics using the following colors. 

Dresses- R24 R27; B04 B06; V04 V06; Hair - E35 E23; Y28 Y15; E07 E04; Skin.- E50 E51 R20.  I added more glitter and shine to their jewelry, shoes, & photo props using my Wink of Stella pens.

 

I made the shaker by putting together two rectangles & then cutting three times from a leftover piece of cardboard.  I learned this technique by the great details from Karen Day from the AI blog.

 

I cut out a camera using my Silhouette & cut the rectangle using the inside rectangle used above.  I cut a piece of acetate using the outside rectangle.

 

I used some black, grey, & white camera print paper in for the background. I felt that the black & white background, and the black camera really made the colors of the girls really pop!  I used some square sequins to shake inside.  I glue some of those some sequins around the card just to have it all blend together.  I really like the effect.

 

Here' a few side views of the cards with the sequins shook around.

 

 

 

 

Here's another view with all the sequins piled at their feet.

April's Irish

Well this week's theme for April is Irish & Leprechauns.    I finally found some Leprechaun stickers, but didn't come close to matching the background I already made, so NO Leprechauns.  :)

 

And this is probably still a stretch...I mean it has luck and a four leaf clover, so close enough for horseshoes.  So here's my card:

 

 

 

I watched a video by Jennifer McGuire.   Please watch her video for yourself - you'll be glad you did.  It's an excellent tutorial.  My first attempt did not turn out as good as hers, but I'll get better. 

 

So first I stamped with the Hero Arts background stamp and used clear embossing.

 

 

 

Next I used Tim Holtz distressed mini inks - Mowed Lawn & Broken China.  Afterwards I sprayed with water and let dry.  Below is the result.

I cut out the sentiment using these super cute dies from Lil' Inker Designs - Dual Dotted Rectangles Dies

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and have great day!!!!
