Hello and Happy Last Monday of August. This is also the 5th Monday of the month which signals a themed challenge at the Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge.
Our theme this week is Birds and there is a Gift Voucher up for grabs from Power Poppy. For my team project, I've created a Twisted Easel Christmas Card using the Season of Serenity Digital Stamp from Power Poppy. The Holiday Season is fast approaching so no time like the present to get started on those Christmas Cards.
To start, I've printed the image on Canson Mixed Media paper in order to watercolor. The mixed media paper is medium weight, handles water great and my printer does not struggle to print on it. Using my Staedtler Watercolor pencils, I've colored the image and splattered the panel with gold watercolor paint.
I've created mats using patterned paper, die cut the focal image and sentiment using dies from Cheery Lynn Designs which were purchased via Amazon. I've adhered the mats and focal panel flat while popping up the sentiment in order to act as a "stopper".
I tire of creating the standard top folding cards in Landscape and Portrait orientations but rarely have time to create fun folds or rather I should say I don't take the time to sit still and create them. Easel and Twisted Easels create a lovely presentation and are quick to make.
Join us at the challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week, we would love to see your Bird-inspired projects. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
