(NOTE: 2nd post of day- scroll down for Skipping Stone Designs Sketch Challenge)
Today's card is another that I made for Mark's Finest Papers using the new set Flourished SeaLife. This week's Speedy the Cat challenge is Harvest. I think they meant it more as in fall harvest but I stretched it a bit to harvesting food. Yep, I've been watching too many episodes of Deadliest Catch. LOL!
I paired it with the chicken wire from the Chicken Scratch stamp set to create the look of a crab trap. The crabs were stamped in brown in and colored with copics and pencils. I went in and gave them some white highlights with a gel pen. The last step was to ink the edges a bit with Antique Linen Distress Ink and give them a coat of Glossy Accents.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
- Stamptacular Sunday- 2 is better than 1
- Paper Sundays- sketch (i moved the 2 circle elements a bit and used the crabs to represent them)
- Speedy the Cat- harvest
- 365 Cards- color 4 ways
