Good Morning everyone
I made up 2 box sets as Christmas presents for non cardmaking friends. I used the Katzelkraft farm animals stamps, brushos & pixie powders for the backgrounds and tim holtz snarky chat stickers
I used A3 cream card to make my box and then decorated the sides and tops to make it sturdier. On the top i stamped all the animals from the set using an ombre ink pad and stamped quote.
5x7" white cards. I first die cut stitched rectangles from white cardstock, then stamped the animals in black. I then did brusho backgrounds, by first stamping the character in place it gave me an idea where i could use different colour brusho's for the sky and ground areas. Once dry i doodled in the ground for them to stand on and a few little details to make up a scene. I used gel pens, alcohol markers & paint pens to add colour to the doodled scene. I mounted the topper onto black cardstock and added to the base card. I used small strips of card coloured with the same brusho's to add interest
I stamped the animals again onto white card and added a little shading with distress inks, i wanted to keep them mostly white so they stood out against the really colourful backgrounds - plus as you know i dislike colouring in greatly😀. I cut them out, gave a little shape an added with glue gel on top of the original one stamped on the background.
I picked a chit chat sticker for each one to finish. I did 2 for each animal, so one for each box set
