The Male Room Challenges #151: Dads and Grandads

The June challenge for the Male Room is: Dads and Granddads, it's Father's day over here on the 20th of  June.

I didn't go for a Father's day card, but birthday with a snarky sentiment.

Both the image and sentiment are from Art Impressions (Birthday Laugh Lines). I've stamped the image with My Favorite Things Extreme black and coloured it with Copics, Spectrum Noir and Graph it markers. Cut it out with the Scan N Cut.

For the background I masked of an area and applied Distress inks, Speckled egg and Peacock Feathers, I wanted it manly coloured but not matchy matchy. I

then stamped the dentures from the same Art Impressions set randomly across the area. Mounted the image with foamtape and adhered it to the cardbase.

Stamped the sentiment with Versafine ink. Chronically challenged made me giggle...I think I am too ;-) haha.

AAA Cards Challenges 2021 - #191 NO Layer card + Hexagons, with video

 This fortnight we're all about NO layers card at AAA Cards.  Nancy chose the twist: use hexagons

For my card I made a stencil with a hexagon shaped nesting die. I chose I size I liked  on the cardbase, not too big, not too small. I also made my hexagons peek in from the left side of the cardbase.

I've used Distress inks: Wilted Violet, Mowed Lawn and Mermaid Lagoon, always blending from the lower right corner.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things: Bitty Birthday Wishes and I stamped it with Versafine ink.

Make a Splash

 

The Less is More Challenge this week is: Favourite Technique.

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Anything goes.

For my card I use two of my favourite techniques: inkblending and coloring.

I masked off and area on the cardbase and then I cut an undulating strip for my sea/waves. I've used Distress inks (Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass and Broken China.

The Stamped the sentiment and heat set it, 

The card ase got a little warped, but will be fine in a day or so.

For my image I've used  Whimsy Stamps Hippo Fun in the sun and colored it with alcohol markers, a mix of Graphit Brush markers, Triblend markers and Copics, then stuck it on top with liquid glue

Fold flat diorama

 


The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: use dies and or punches.

And boy did I use a bunch of dies, among them Sugar Pea Design Farm Border, Amy Design ADD10129, Simon Says Stamp Burst die for my sun, Paper Rose Border cows and one I bought second hand, no idea which brand.

For the critters I've used Whimsy Stamps Camp Critters and sentiment I've used Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment strip.

The card is part of my June fan month, so to see how I built it all you might want to come back. There will be a two part video, very long proces.

But I've inkblended on yellow cardstock to get my  variegated sun, same for the sky and grass. Behind the sun I've used Stick it before diecutting it so at least it's easier to stick it to my sky.

the other border I cut to size and mounted with little flaps that will fold up or flat.

As I was filiming it today the challenge came and I thought it's perfect for this weeks challenge. I didn't really want to wait to share it, but the video will have to wait.
