My Apologies in advance, my photography just doesn't do this card justice.
My favourite techniques in cardmaking are Stamping and Alcohol Markers. Close To My heart sell SHIN HAN Alcohol markers and they are right up there with the best of them. I just love this months Stamp of the month Ice Cream dreams because i got to make a card with the two things i love the most. What the photo doesn't show you, is the shading and the fading in out of the colours in each of the individual sections of each of the stamps or the depth of the 3D of each of the images. Each section of each of the stamps are outlined with glitter pens in the same colours as the Shin Han Markers. When working with Alcohol Markers a good rule to follow is either to use Memento Ink, Ive used black in this instance or you can use Stazon Ink and or Heat emboss your stamped image. This assists in helping the alcohol colouring from bleeding or feathering on your image. You should always use a semi glossy white card stock to stamp your images on.
The SHIN HAN COLOURS used in the card are: YR29 Barely Beige, B68 Turquoise Blue, R11, B262 Blue, YR24 Marigold. Ive just loved working with this months stamp of the month (SOTM) and getting back in touch with the inner child in me.
The road that is stamped comes from the Close To My Heart My Acrylix FAST AND FURIOUS set.
Which is another great stamp set for kids. Item Number: D1541

DeleteSuch a fun Card even for "big kids" and thanks for listing the Shin Han colours (still building up my collection).
ReplyDeleteThanks you marguerite, I love my shin hans, I use them regularly. So worth collecting the entire set.
DeleteCute card - how did you get the shadows behind the ice creams?
ReplyDeleteThank you Vandra, I took the photo late at night underneath a lamp and the card was on an angle, creating the shadow off the icecreams. T
DeleteGreat card.
ReplyDeleteThank Darlys for stopping bye
DeleteLove it Tracey - a very fun card. I am now thinking I should have done the same idea with the road out of the Fast & Furious set - oh well that is what this all about sharing ideas & different ways at looking at the images.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maz, I nearly didn't use the road maz. I love that we get to share our ideas in the blog hop and i was blown away with your step card and awning. Thank you for stopping by
DeleteGreat card! the colours you have used have made it look old fashioned, like the days when the icecream parlour was the place for cool kids to hang out.
ReplyDeleteThank you anne, LOL maybe the colour idea came from my miss spent youth ? lol.
