It’s Father’s Day and in honor of the men in our lives, I have some masculine themed designs.Actually none of them are specifically for Father’s Day as I’ve already shared those with you at some previous moment. 🙂 You’re getting three for the price of one (wink) as I’ve been so busy stamping this past month, I ended up creating a lot of projects.
100 Years of Railroad
This image is from the B& O Railroad line and is simply stamped. I thought it would be fun to add some texture to the design so I used some embossed Prima chipboard as a layer. The raised areas are highlighted with ink sponged across the surface.
STamps: 100 Years of Railroad (B&O line) by CHF
Ink: Black Memento Ink by Tsukineko, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink by Ranger
Paper: Simply Smooth Vanilla by CHF, patterned paper by Graphic 45
Other: brad by Karen Foster Design, chipboard by PrimaÂ
Bear at Sunset
I thought this Saturday Evening Post bear needed a beautiful wilderness sunset. The image is colored with my copic markers and the sky blended by flicking color from the bottom and then another shade down from the top until it is well blended.
Quick Tip: Add highlights with a white gel pen.
