Me making 'male' cards doesn't happen too often so I do like to join in the challenges at The Male Room - Sports theme this month and at Watercooler Wednesday WWC158 - Masculine, 'Anything Goes. I water coloured my stamped and embossed image with Brushos and roughly cut it out. Then I used some foam packaging from a bottle to create my background - dunked my foam in some leftover wet Brushos and swiped onto my back panel... the image had the curve as well so this gave me the line to create the curve... then decided to also cut out the curve, which I mounted along with the skater with foam tape. I stamped on both sentiments to finish the card.
I am also posting to Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Feb challenge - Anything Goes.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend.
Fabulous card Robyn. So cool! Love what you used and the result of that curve. Thanks for sharing with us at HLS for our Watercolour Challenge.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Robyn, very clever "pipe"you've created!Fantastic masculine card, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome wave you've created there! Great card for a teenage boy!
ReplyDeleteI love how you put this skater image to work. When I first looked at it I thought it was a surfer and then realized it was a boy skateboarding. Awesome idea to use the foam packaging to create the depth and curve in the background. Thanks so much for sharing with us at the Watercooler Wednesday masculine challenge this week. Terrific image and card!
ReplyDeleteWow - an action birthday card any teen would love. So clever to use the packaging to give the impression of motion. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Robyn, the movement you've achieved in this card---wonderful! I love the background, the skater image, the colouring and, most of all, that wonderful sense of motion. You have the most unique ways of creating exactly what you have in mind. It wouldn't have occurred to me to use the foam and dip it in the ink but, wow, the results really rewarded that effort. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
ReplyDeletewow what a card, this image has been brought to 'life' with your design, one awesome design...x
