Here's another Lampost Expressions card. This set is just so cool! I did this card for the design team challenge to use glossy cardstock. I liked the faux linen technique I used on the turkey card, so used it again on this card. I colored the image with copics and then sanded, added color with sponges and sanded again. I matted the image with layers of black and real red. The card base is always artichoke layered with basic grey. I tied on a ribbon and added the sentiment from Charlie Snowhorse (you'll see the sneak peek of it tomorrow, along with the Friday faceoff!).
Today's challenge on SCS was to get crackin'! I tried out the cracked glass technique with my mom's new scarecrow stamp. I told her that stamps don't stay uninked for long in my house! This poor ol' scarecrow isn't scary - so now he's free! I stamped the images and colored with copics. Then I did 4 layers of clear embossing powder and through it in the freezer for a bit. I made the sign with more mustard cardstock and the card with old olive, chocolate chip and SU halloween 2007 dp. I stamped the sentiment on pumpkin pie, layered with chocolate chip and old olive. I added a strip of brown polkadot ribbon flanked by two pieces of green polkadot ribbon. The flower was white, so I colored it with copics and added the brown polkadot ribbon. After I got the image out of the freezer I cracked it up and then mounted it on chocolate chip and old olive.
