Back to School

Another Guest designer post from me this week for the fabulous Whimsy Stamps.

I’ve used the  digi called “Brains”, there’s a boy and a girl version. I turned my card in a back to school card. https://whimsystamps.com/collections/august-2020-digital/products/brains-digital-stamp-1

I’ve printed the digi on watercolour paper and colored it with Talens Ecoline an ink like watercolour. Then cut it out.

For the background I’ve masked off a strip on the card base and applied Black soot  Distress Oxide ink, I did not care about how well I could blend it, in fact it looks like a messy school board now, you know with remnants of chalk on it. I then used my right hand (I’m left handed) to write back to school with the Versamarker pen and sprinkled it with Wow opaque bright white embossing powder. 

Had to do this a couple of times as the pen dries quickly. I thought it would look more clumsy with my non dominant hand and maybe more  elementary school like?

Placed the character in front of the chalk board with foamtape.
