PIP Challenge 2244


 

 Sponsored by Polkadoodles
 


THEME is CELEBRATION!!
 
 
Hello and welcome.  Today starts a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we are sponsored by Polkadoodles.  I would first like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing the design team images for us to use.  Since this is the 5th Monday for October, we have a theme this week and it's celebrations.  My project this week uses this cute little Gnometastic Celebration Balloons.

After printing my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils before stippling Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around it using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios before layering and adding brads.  I then took my card base and dry embossed it using a dusty Cuttlebug birthday embossing folder and my big shot before rubbing Pacific Pointe ink over the raised images.  I then took some scrap pacific pointe card stock, stamped it using a retired Stampin Up Beyond The Basics set before layering and adding my border.  Once I added the layered image panel, I pulled out some dusty dew drops for the final touch.  
 
I'm really happy with how it turned out considering how awful I feel.  I got my latest COVID booster this last weekend and it sure has kicked my booty!  Ugh!  I do, however, recommend getting the latest booster especially since you don't know if the person next to you is high risk or not; like I am.  Otherwise get it to protect your own family.
