2 cards using 1 main image

This week I made two cards using one main image. I got the stamped image of the Senior Ladies in my pound of rubber. Love them. So many sentiments you can use with them! I made 2 cards with them! I already had the card bases done a long time ago. 

I stamped these lovely ladies on white cardstock with Black versafine ink pad. My versafine ink pad is so juicy that I was able to pour the Ultra high gloss clear embossing powder on them and have it stick. Took the heat gun to it. I used Prismacolor pencils to colored them in I know you can't really see it in the pictures, because of the lighting, but my youtube video I did it shows a little better.

 After I colored them I took a Qtip and Goo Gone and blended all the coloring. Its a cheap way to blend if you can't afford or get mineral spirits. I got two bottles that are 3 ounces at Dollar Tree a long time ago. It last a really long time. I don't think I'm a quarter into the bottle. You just take your Qtip and dip into the bottle and just brush it on where you colored. 

This card I use the Sentiment "All my life I've wanted to be somebody. Now I realize I should have been more specific". Like I said I did the card bases months and months ago.  Its a white cardstock base. On a piece of scrap black cardstock I then took some scraps of basic Gray out of print collection and put that over the black.  Attached to the white card base. Stamped the sentiment on white and attached everything with Miracle tape

This card is a Kraft cardstock base and a scrap of Retro Mod stack from DCWV. The sentiment I used for this one is  "A new body for $1.87. Who wants a new body for an old one."

oh la la atc

I'm in an ATC  one on one swap and for the month of May the theme is pets.I looked through my pet stamps by Viva Las Vegas and picked the poodle with glasses.

 I stamped her in white cardstock. Colored her in pink color pencil, because it is from ME and my fav color is pink! :) I did color the bow in a purple and  even did the rims of the glasses in silver. took a Q-tip and Goo gone and blended my coloring. The base is from a note card that I got. I didn't know what else to do. Then thought if the Eiffel Tower. i first looked at Madison ave.collection by my minds eye, but they thetower wasn't the right size. So I looked the other MME pad I have Union Square and used that one. I've been hording....I mean treasuring these pads. It kinda hurt a little to cut into that paper just to use the Eiffel Tower. lol When I laid the tower in the base, the dots on the base looked too white. So I took Vintage photo and antique linen distress inks over it. I attached the tower to the base and glossy accent it. just to give it some dimension, i use foam mount tape on the poodle. The letters I got at a thrift store. Got a bag full of alphas for $2.50! I got tons of letters in there. Couldn't pass up that deal. I glued them down and used glossy accents on them too.

Hope my swap partner likes the atc!
