AAA Birthday card challenge #19 - For a child

-

 

Hello everyone! Today we're kicking off a new challenge over at AAA Birthday blog and the theme this month is For a child.

It just so happened that I needed a birthday card for the boy next door and, according to my daughter, the scarier the better. So I thought it was the perfect opportunity to finally use my My favorite things Baby shark die-namics.

I die cut the shark parts from grey cardstock, of course except for the teeth that were cut from white cardstock. I darkened the edges with a bit of Faded jeans distress ink. I added Aged mahogany to the inside of the mouth and applied a bit of candied apple to the teeth with a sponge dauper. I added googly eyes - just because.

I die cut his name using Altenew Bold alphas and stacked 3 layers of the same grey cardstock. I wiped my WOW! embossing ink on the bottom of the letters and added a touch of Black Magic embossing powder, a favorite of mine.
I ink blended the background going from lightest to darkest starting in the middle og the panel. I used Tumbled glass, Mermaid lagoon and Chipped sapphire distress inks. I then placed the My favorite things Radiating rays stencil on top and spritzed a few times with my water sprayer. I left the stencil while letting the water re-activate the ink. Then removed the stencil and dapped off the excess water.
I popped up the shark and aligned the name and sentiment with my T-square ruler. The sentiment is from MFT Sharky sentiments. As a final touch I hand cut the corner of the card to make it look like the shark had taken a bite out of it and added a bit of red ink there as well.

So there you have my inspiration for this month, but don't forget to hop on over to the AAA Birthday blog to check out the cards from the rest of our team and our guest designer. I can't wait to see what you create! 

Thanks for stopping by!
Stay safe and happy crafting!

Copic vedligeholdelse - hvordan & hvorfor

  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-bru...

Hey guys. How heartbroken are you to see all the burned animals in Australia? I can't even.... I chose this digital image  Lili of the valley Koala . The profits of the sale from this cutie will be donated to the WWF Australian bushfires relief, so get shopping people! I colored it with Copics and cut it with a My favorite things Wonky stitched frame. Copics used: Koala: W5, W3, W1, W0 + C1 Tree: E50, G40, E42, E31, E34 Leaves: BG57, G02, G00, YG01 Flowers: YG17, YG06, YG03, Y000 Butterfly: YG06, YG01, E44, E47 I also printed this Make it Crafty Gumnut flower corner and fuzzy cut it out. I "colored" the flowers with a white Sakura gelly roll pen. Copics used: Leaves: BG57, G02, G00, YG01 Flowers + stem: YG17, YG06, YG03, Y000 I stamped a sentiment from Poppystamps Whittles Everyday and popped up the panel and gum leaves. Although rain storms have moved in, fires are still raging. The animals of Australia still need our help. The lu...
