Hello everyone! Today I’m featuring the Chuggin’ On Stamp Set. I chose to use both the guy and the gal as my focal point. You know how it is when you meet the right one! Let me show you how I made my card.
The first thing I did was stamp my images in an alcohol marker friendly ink. My card is all about the coloring! I had some idea of where I wanted to go with these images, but I didn’t have a complete vision in my head.
I love coloring up jeans. The B90’s in the Copic marker line are the perfect color. I used a 5-color blend for these jeans.
Next I moved on to the skin and hair. I keep a notebook with visuals of hair and skin tones.
I laid in color for the clothing and travel mugs. I only wanted their cups to match and I tried to make the clothing colorful and casual.
I worked with my colors and shading unit I was happy with how everything looked.
I chose my background paper which is quite neutral. I had stamped out my sentiment and then used a die from my stash. I stamped it on white card stock and then went over it with my Copics. I made an A2 size side folding note card out of cream card stock. I took another piece of that same came card and used a 3D embossing folder on it. It was a sort of knobby plaid – perfect for this as I knew not much would be showing. I used a die to cut the patterned paper…it already had the fine black splatter on it. I popped up the couple on foam tape so they would stand out. For embellishments I used 2 tiny gems and put one on the girl’s belt and used another for an earring. I used a silver sparkle gel pen for the guy’s belt buckle. And I scattered a few gems throughout the background. And that finished my card!
I hope this inspires you to create using the Chuggin’ On Stamp Set. There are lots of possibilities with this one!
