Perfect Crazy Horses

 

Hello and welcome.  Second post today.  If you're looking for my Pammie's Inky Pinkies DT card, please scroll down one. 

I've been somewhat quiet lately.  I'm still dealing with this blasted migraine that will not go away but I've tried crafting a bit to focus on something else but the pain.  That's the main reason I've been using so many pre-colored images lately.  I felt I needed something fun so I pulled out this Crazy Horses image from Sheepski Designs that I've had printed for some time but hadn't used yet.  I started out by coloring the horses using my Castle Arts watercolor pencils until I was happy with the coverage.  Taking one of my blending brushes, I added some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink around the horses before layering and adding brads.  For the card base, I printed off the distressed graph page from Gecko Galz Time After Time digital designer paper then added it to white card stock before stippling Tim Holtz faded jeans and tea dye distress inks over the designer paper.  I then adhered my colored image panel to the card before stamping my saying from an old Hero Arts Good Friends stamp set directly on the card.  After adding some googlie eyes, my card was finished,

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Varada Sharma. I would like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card today is featuring Varada's digital stamps Succulent Thrillers and Pretty Planters.

I started out by combining all of the images I wanted, plus saying, in PSE before printing the combined images on Neenah white card stock then colored using both Prismacolor and Copic markers.  Once that was finished, I layered the colored image making sure to distress the edges of each layer using a paper distresser tool before adding some olive brads I've had in my stash for years.  As an afterthought, I went back and lightly blended some mauve mist, stormy sky and olive green inks using blending brushes.  My card is dry embossed using a Cuttlebug© Moroccan screen embossing folder and my Big Shot©.  Once I had adhered the layered image panel using glue dots, I pulled out some Meraki Sparkle Green Illusion© gems and adhered those using Bearly Art Precision Glue©.  I then color spritzed mauve mist and old olive markers over the entire card before adding Ranger Glossy Accents to the "tiles" on the flower pot as the final touch.
