I decided to use one of my favorite designer lines from Impression Obsession, the Gary Robertson line of digital stamps. I started out by printing the never before used Seasons Greetings Outhouse on Neenah white card stock before coloring it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils and a white gel pen. Once the coloring was finished, I stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass and chipped sapphire distress inks using my paper pouncers before layering and adding brads. My card is stamped in pine needles distress ink using a retired Stampin Up holly jumbo roller wheel before stippling more pine needles around the edges. Once my layered image was adhered, I went and highlighted parts of the image using a Sakura 3D clear glaze pen. I then added waterfall and diamond ice stickles to finish the card off. I'm really happy with how this card turned out because I almost threw it away at one point thinking I had really messed it up. Fortunately, the card finished well.

LOVE this card. So much fun. Gave me a good chuckle. Your coloring is wonderful. Thanks for playing with us at The Four Seasons Challenge and Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, This is the nicest "outhouse" I've ever seen, makes me chuckle...I grew up in the mountains of NC and I'm probably a lot older than you, because I remember these buildings quite well, when I was growing up. Thanks for sharing this fun card with us at Inspiration Station this month. Smiles, Kathy DT PS I may have to invest in this digi!
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of bathroom humor in our house, too, Bonnie, so I can relate and really love your outhouse to outhouse design! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell
