Now in the past the way I've used these stamps is far far away from CAS so that added a whole new layer to this challenge for me. Here's what I came up with:
I started by stamping and colouring this adorable image of the two boys sharing a lemonade - love that they don't have to share the cookie though! Then I stamped the image again and fussy cut, more like fiddly cut, round it to create a mask. I also masked off a a border all round the image.
I then used distress oxide inks to blend the background and flicked some water on top to create the magic. So loving these two colours together and the way the oxide inks are so forgiving if you're a rubbish blender like me!
Supplies:
Stamps: LOTV, retired stamp; Clearly Besotted, Best Friends
Inks: Memento, tuxedo black; Ranger distress xide, faded jeans, cracked pistachio
Promarkers: spice, walnut, henna, raw sienna, terracotta, chestnut, soft green, mint green, tea green, grey green, cool grey 3,4, 5, khaki, ivory, blush, dusky pink, crimson, shale
I'm also going to pop this card into the CASology BUDS Challenge.
