For this week's Free 4 All challenge, found HERE we are celebrating September Splitcoasties and their blue birthstone, sapphires. Our challenge to you is to make a card/project where the main color is blue OR make a card with your own birthstone color and tell which month.
It seems an age since I was last capable of making a card and joining in at SCS. I know these feelings will pass - eventually! Thankfully Robin's F4A team forward plan each months theme, so I was able to make this card several months ago.
This nautical creature is a clear stamp by Pink Ink Designs, stamped onto copy paper, then coloured with Prismacolour pencils, Zest it pencil blend and a colourless blending pencil. After adhering her to the background using a glue stick, I added a gazillion birthstones aka liquid pearls and Stickles, extending them passed the image and onto the background.
On the package she has a beautiful serene and thoughtful look on her face, so I was somewhat surprised that she had a very different expression once on the card- who knew sticking her nose one degree higher would have such an effect. I am very pleased about this though, it feels like I got two stamps for the price of one LOL.
Now that she had lost her serene look I had no idea what sentiment to use, until a friend said she was absolutely exhausted at how stupid people can be. I had a light bulb moment and remembered I had a stamp that said the same sort of thing (thank you Susan One4Joy for the RAK).
The background is a result of cleaning a stencil and left over acrylic paint (using my fingers) on a piece of polypropylene paper that protects my desk.
Thanks very much for looking and happy birthday to all the "Sapphire" splitcoasties. Stay safe.
