Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, if you were expecting a card I have to disappoint you - made a little piece of "art" here on canvas with my favorite birds.... First I gessoed, then I stamped the bird, masked it and spritzed with Dylusion spray. Colored the bird, stamped some more - all other stamps besides the crazy bird are by   Ryn Tanaka - her stamps and those birds just go so well together! Added black splatters and finished it off with varnish. The whole project took a while - stuff needs to dry in between those steps. and here he is again - Mr. Dapper - I love him! Edited for more info: Its tricky to stamp on canvas, because of the give - I put the stamp on the table and put the canvas on it and then rubbed my fingers onto the stamp (through the canvas). You have to watch out and not shift anything. I gessoed the canvas first. I used Dylusion ink sprays for the background and probably distress inks and some Copics to color the bird - can't quite remem...

Hi Everyone, time to play with the Crazy Birds - I think they just lend themselves to be made into Father's Day cards.... I used watercolor paper and watercolors to color Mr. Crazy. Gave him a snazzy little bow-tie made with a YNS die, colored it, too and added glossy accents. Added the sentiment by Studio112 - I actually cut that sentiment out - I figured I'll never will use the stamp as it is anyhow and that was easier than masking it.... And did I mention the splatters? Linking up with: Cut it up  - Ties for Fathers Day Colour me....!  - my orange show up as red in the picture... Friday Mashup  - water color Snippets Playground  - use a snippet (bow tie) - probably the tiniest snippet ever ;) Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - anything goes Inkspirational - Purple ( as suggested by Carol) Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Fathers Day Happy Stamping!

Hi Everyone, I have to sneak in a card in between our STAMPloration blog hop .......I just made to play in some challenges. That cute giraffe was nudging me for the last few days to get inked up - I finally gave in...... Added Washi tape in the background and embossed a scrap piece of card stock with a Sizzix Embossing Folder. The giraffe is by YNS - I colored it with Copics and fuzzy cut it. The sentiment and inlaid triangle die cut is also by YNS. I mounted the Kraft panel with foam tape.
