Father's Day Classic

Hi!  Chris here today sharing this classic Father's Day Card that was super fun and yet easy to whip up in a short amount of time.  I started with these supplies:

Sin City Stamps: Classic Spark; Terri Sproul Alphabet Set 
Pacon: Multi Media paper
Cardstock
ColourArte: Radiant Gels -Copper Pearls (altho link shows the color looking more coppery-  my jar looks more pearly)
ColourArte Twinkling H2Os - Mandarin Citrine, Iridescent Blue
Ink- Ranger Archival Jet Black, Ranger Tim Holtz Cracked Pistachio, StazOn Jet Black
Distress Marker - Squeezed Lemonade

To start out I painted my background using the ColourArte Radiant Gels on my Multi Media paper

After the was dry, I stamped the over the paint with my StazOn and my background stamp from the Classic Spark Collection. I love how it kind of reminded me of a 50's diner floor!  Perfect for the theme of my card!

I then matted that background piece onto black cardstock to fit my card.

Before I got too far along I stamped the inside of my card and then stamped and matted my greeting. 

I then stamped the car image again on my Multi Media paper using the Ranger Archival Ink.  I then proceeded to "color" in my image.  I used the Cracked Pistachio on the car body by stamping my ink pad onto by craft sheet and picking up the ink with my water brush.  

I have to admit that at first I stamped with my Memento Ink pad, forgetting I was using water.  In the first image you can see the ink bleed into my color , the second image uses the Archival ink.  

I added the Iridescent Blue Twinkling H2Os to any parts of the car that would be chrome or white walled.  I added the Squeezed Lemonade Distress Marker to the headlights and then a touch of the Mandarin Citrine for a bit of extra shine.   I then fussy cut out my car and added it to the front of my card. 

I then stamped DAD using the Terri Sproul Alphabet onto my MultiMedia paper and matted that onto black cardstock.  

Hope you enjoyed my project!

ART JOURNAL PAGE "TEMPUS FUGIT"

Hello!  Today I am sharing an art journal page for SinCity Stamps, using their stamps and stencils.

Supplies:

• SinCity Stamps "Clockworks Inspired by Terri Sproul" stamp Set
• SinCity Stamps "Love of Butterflies" stamp set
• SinCity Stamps "Terri Sproul's Alphabet Set"
• SinCity Stamps "Heart Stencil"
• DecoArt Media Line Gesso, Acrylic Paints, Carbon Black Spray Ink
• Stewart Superior India Ink Pad
• Black India Ink in a Fineliner Applicator
• Palate Knife, Water Brush

I started by applying my Primary Yellow acrylic paint to my journal with a water brush and let it dry.

Then I added some words to my background with my Fineliner.  I know it looks like scribbles but I know what it says *wink*.  I let this layer dry.

I applied some Gesso over the words with a palate knife.  And again, let it dry.

I framed the page with pink acrylic paint and a sponge.  I also added some pink paint to the inside of the pages.

When that was dry I sprayed the black spray ink through the heart stencil and let it dry.

Now I laid my stamps out to decide where to put them.  I don't know why but "Tempus Fugit" was in my head for days.  I took 4 years of Latin in high school, because I'm an idiot awesome *lol* and thought the roman numerals and the butterflies were so very fitting.  I stamped the stamps with black India ink.

I used the Terri Sproul Alphabets to write "Tempus Fugit" on the bottom which means Time Flies *i'm sure you all knew that*.  Time really does fly!  I feel like things are going by so fast lately it is making me dizzy.  I hope things start slowing down soon.  I like to cherish each moment.

Thank you for visiting!  I hope you are inspired by my page.  Please go to the SinCity Stamps store and get some of these amazing stamps!!  You will LOVE them!
