For today's Free for All Challenge(F4A130), we are to combine any one tutorial with any one challenge. I chose Marker Layering for the technique tutorial and SC295(sketch) for the challenge.
The images are from DRS Designs. The French horn was colored with markers and I added some highlights with a gold gel pen. I inked just part of the greeting and stamped it, then die cut with a rectangle die. I had a little punched strip left over from yesterday so tacked it on the bottom after adding a narrow red layer. The poinsettia is also a die cut. It looked a little plain on the bottom so I added an embossed strip and my 5.50 x 4.25 card was finished. The stencil I used for the embossing was originally designed to be done by hand and is a Perganamo type stencil. But since it's metal, I figured it would work just like any other metal stencil/die and I used the embossing machine. And I was right!
Thanks so much for looking. My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
