 | | This is such a sad, sad Teaparty. Our cards are going to a little 6 year old boy, Jayden. Jayden survived a horrific car accident, while he was not hurt physically he sat three feet from his mother as she was pinned by a vehicle and his little 2 year old sister died. We have been asked to send kid-friendly happy cards, with no mention of the accident.
Unfortunately there was no cheater email again and the challenge went live late last evening (my time). I want to get this in the post today so there is no chance to do a stair step card. I hope Jayden will like all the bright and happy colours on this card, plus a squirrel driving a car is pretty funny, I think.
The background was done with distress inks and water. This is not my usual smack and squirt technique, instead I dragged a green distress ink pad across the bottom of the foil, then being careful not to contaminate ink pads, I dragged an orange ink pad and finished with blue. I then lightly spritzed on some water then laid the cardstock carefully on the inky stripes. The coverage was not 100%, so I spritzed more water onto the foil and laid the cardstock back down. Some of the yellow had moved into the blue, that is where the green in the sky came from LOL.
I flicked drops of water onto the card and immediatly blotted the card - this is what gives the big light blob effect. If you let the drops dry naturally, it is quite a different look. The image is a digi image and coloured with distress inks and Izink. The little squirrel was coloured with Copics. I added a bit of drywall tape to the car grill. Only the car is adhered to the card, the squirrel and key have 3D foan tape behind them, as does the banner.
Thank you for looking. I hope you join in or even send a happy kids card to Jayden from your stash. This weeks Teapot challenge can be found by clicking this link MMTPT327~November 4, 2014~10-4 Good Buddy by Ksnurse at Splitcoaststampers |
