OK,
every once in awhile I get an idea for a card in my head that I just can't shake loose, and worse, have limited products that would work for that idea. Ever since Cath, over at
Moxie Fab issued the
Camera Craze challenge, this idea has been bobbing around in the tiny area known as my creative brain. So I figured I'd use what I had and work around it.
I had this camera stamp by
Sandy Lion and stamped it on
My Mind's Eye blue paper, then cut it out. I also had a desire to use metal because of the challenge over at
Simon Says Stamp and Show, is
Metal-ology so I took a piece of wire and bent it into a round shape and filled in the area with
Ranger's Glossy Accents. It slipped a little when I poured in the Glossy Accents, but I still think it looks great :)
Next I drew the mouse around the camera stamp and cut him out. Took a sheet of Scrappin Sports yellow paper, drew holes and cut them out with my Fiskars Fingertip knife and then laid it over a scrap of darker yellow paper. Shaded the holes for depth with my Faber Castell PITT pens. I also used my metallic gellato inside the ears and on his cute little nose.
I love, love, LOVE my Helmar's Liquid Scrapdots!!! I was able to put some under the spiked flash and the camera button so they won't get bent when mailing. How cool is this stuff?
Printed out the sentiment using
Traveling Typewriter font and matted it on the same blue paper as the camera.
