Candy Cane Season CYOB - TGIF Challenges - TGIFC179

September 28, 2018
TGIFC179.jpg

Boy do we have a super fun challenge for you this week at TGIF Challenges. The challenge is to create and come up with your won background. I love a challenge that is so wide open to interpretation.

I created this fun HO HO HO watercolor background. It was fairly simple to make. First I wet the watercolor paper and created a Bermuda Bay watercolor wash with an Aqua Painter. When the paper was still wet I stamped the HO HO HO in Bermuda Bay ink onto the wash. The stamped image bleeds a bit in certain areas but remains crisp in others depending on how wet the watercolor paper was. I’m loving these results! You can see where I tried this technique again here on this dinosaur card.

The candy cane images come from the Candy Cane Season stamp set. These are stamped in Poppy Parade and punched out using the Candy Cane punch. These sweets are so cute and chunky!

A sweet card for a sweet friend! We are CASING the amazing @tinkermom85 this week @global_design_project - I love how Wendy stamped on patterned paper to add a quick pop of color. I took a similar approach and stamped the berries from the 'Filled with Sweetness' stamp set onto red patterned paper. The green stems were stamped directly onto Garden Green cardstock and then cut out and layered onto the red berries. Play along and tag your project #gdp544 The acronym CASE typically stands for Copy And Share Everything (or sometimes Copy And Selectively Edit). It refers to finding inspiration in another person's card design-such as layout, colors, or techniques, and recreating it, either exactly or with minor changes. #stampinup #filledwithsweetness #cardmaker #cardmakingideas
Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel
