Teaming Up Dies and Stamps...… Using The Giant Go Team Die, Stadium Seating Die and Tiny Sports Friends & Tiny Friends Stamps.

Welcome Crafty Friends, 

I've been truly bit by the Lawn Fawn bug. I have always liked the designs but recently (excuse the pun), they have really knocked it out of the park.

Inkpads in Jalapeno  & Merman (Lawn Fawn)

  Tuxedo  Black  Alcohol Marker Friendly (Memento)

Card Stock in Cilantro, Metallic Silver (Lawn Fawn)

White Alcohol friendly Cardstock 80lb & 110lb (Neenah or Similar)

Alcohol Markers (Copic's or Similar) 

6" x 6" Card Blank 

Clear Glaze (Lawn Fawn)

Method




Stamp out your Tiny Friends all the characters you will use, then die cut the with coordinating dies. 


Next Die Cut the Stadium and Go team die. I used Henry's  ABC's Alphabet dies instead of the TEAM on the main die as for me it fit better but either can be used. I Die cut the stadium out of silver mirror card and the seating out of 110lb Neenah


Taking a strip of Cilantro card stock and blend Jalapeno ink on to it also add a few splats of the ink pad colour by stamping on to a glass mat and add a little water. Using a paint brush to add the splats.  


Attach the cilantro card stock to the bottom of your card blank. Then using Merman ink bend on the sky.


Add your die cut tiny friends to the stadium. 
Then add this to the side of your card.



Add the football to the pitch. I colour around any white edges to blend in with the background.


Add other players and coach.

Finally add stamp detail to grass in the same green ink you blended with. and any die cuts flags etc to your crowd. Then add the Go Team Die, I cut mine in half and change the word TEAM by using smaller letters.


I do hope you enjoyed todays project.

Happy Paper Crafting

Method

Taking the stencil and a selection of rainbow colour inkpads .Blend from the left corner down in a down ward direction.


Die cut out all the art supplies from white 110lb cardstock and also die cut the jar again but from vellum.


Using your alcohol markers and colour your die cut supplies.


When you colour the jar use the same alcohol marker to colour the cardstock and the vellum. The vellum will crease, but this is the look you want to represent water in the jar.  


Colour the palette in the same colours for the easel and stool. Then colour and attach each drop of colour to the pallet.


Add each element on the back ground die cut the letters ART out of white cardstock and colour in black marker. Once you've add double sided tape to easel, canvas, stool and palette and add them to your background.


Stamp your sentiment in Versafine black ink.


Once dry add Crystal Glaze to as much as you like and a sprinkle of glitter. 
When this is all dry 24hrs approx. add white highlights and dots, crosses what ever you like on top of the dry glaze. Also I added wood detail to the easel and stool with a brown fine liner.


Lastly add enamel drops.

I hope you enjoyed todays blog post.
