Space Out! SDC 260

Its time for another fantastic designers challenge over at Stampotique!

This time around I knew exactly what I was going to create for the space them. I am obsessed with galaxies. Really. Gorgeous. I spent some time learning and trying different things to get the look I wanted and this is what I came up with:

I LOVED creating this and LOVED the outcome. It is perfectly imperfect and a lot easier to create than you might think. I created a video. I am still learning on the video front so bear with me. ;) If it is wonky on Blogger, click the video and it should take you on to Youtube.

Here is the final product. When I thought space and galaxy, this sentiment from Stampotique seemed just about perfect. I stamped the sentiment onto watercolor paper and tried to make it match the galaxy theme. To top it off I used some tiny sequin stars along with some twine, because, twine makes everything better!

Overall, this is a sweet positive card and I am satisfied! I hope you are inspired to create your own galaxy, and if you do don't forget to link it up over at our challenge here for your chance to win a 30 dollar gift card to the fantastic Stampotique shop which has something for literally everyone!

Its ATC Time Again!

This month over at Stampotique our ATC swap theme is Stamped Background. The idea is to stamp a background and hi-light that stamp or another in the foreground. Of course I had to use my cute little monsters. Plushy and the Goat Monster. I went a little bit more simple in an effort to have the stamped background and monsters pop. I love how they turned out.

This first one is on a background that I created for my video on watercolor backgrounds.  It was exactly what I needed for this goat monster and his silly plushies.

 This card I used an extra panel I had from the party banner  that was created awhile back for my first DT slot. I cut it down to the appropriate size and stamped Plusy all over the back. I used watercolor pencils for Goat Monster and then used the "caution" part of the Approach With Caution stamp. I love how the expression on Goat Monster's face almost seems like he is in a daze, or in the twilight zone with Plushy behind him.

 I flipped the colors for the second card, using the blues and greens on the back with the warmer yellows and oranges for the goat. Finished up both cards with a gel pen to create a funky boarder.

Pretty much love the way these guys turned out. I am really enjoying learning to use different color schemes and not just my go-to colors.

So, be sure to hop over and join our ATC swap! There are so many amazing artist waiting to swap with you!
