CAS348 - HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Hey there, it's time for this week's CAS challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  We're supposed to use acetate on our Thanksgiving or Christmas projects.  Perfect time for a shaker card, huh?  I colored this adorable turkey from Whipper Snapper Designs a couple weeks ago and was pretty happy to finally be able to use him on a project!  I have lots and lots of pictures of how I got the dimension on Terrance, so put your feet up and enjoy!  *grin*



Terrance Turkey was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White four times.

In step one...you can see that everything was given a quick coat.  I like to do a little color in case someone is looking in between the layers, but I don't spend a lot of time on the parts that won't show.  Since the feathers are the only part that will show at this stage, I took my time and shaded them then fussy cut the whole thing.
Step two...the body has shading and will show once the pieces are stacked while everything else has a quick coat of color.  It was fussy cut omitting the feathers.
Step three...the face and wings are shaded while everything else has a quick coat.  You can see how the different sections were fussy cut.
Step four...last but not least.  The hat, beak and feet were all colored, shaded then fussy cut.
Here are all the pieces so you can see the different stages at a glance.  Thin foam squares were used to layer the pieces.  Creating dimension is always fun...a lot of work, but definitely worth it when it's done!  


COPIC COLORING:
TURKEY BODY:  YR18, YR15, YR12  WINGS, TAIL:  YR18, YR15, YR12, E17, E15, E13, E11, C7, C5, C3, C1  HEAD, NECK:  E17, E15, E13, E11  BEAK, FEET:  Y28, Y26, Y23  SNOOD (red part on beak):  R08, R05, R02  HAT:  C7, C5, C3, C1, BG0000, BG70, Y28, Y26, Y23  SKY:  BG0000, BG70

LLLC - HI, FRIEND!

Hey there, today's LLLC challenge is For a Friend.  I used Watercan Marci for my card.  Marci was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then popped up on foam.  Love that Postage Stamp die from LLLC too!

CAS347 - SAY CHEESE, FRANKIE!

Hey there, it's my turn to host the CAS challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  I found a super cool picture on Pinterest, so it's an inspiration challenge for this week!  With any luck, I'll have some time to create a couple more cards for this week's challenge.  I just LOVE Whipper Snapper Designs Halloween images!


Frankie was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then popped up on foam.  The grass and dirt layers were cut with My Favorite Things Snow Drifts then colored with Copics.  Each of the layers were separated with foam squares for added dimension.  The black silhouette is from Impression Obsession.  It's an awesome die for Halloween cards!  The sky was colored with Copics to finish the card.

LLLC - NAUGHTY OR NICE

Luka was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut then popped up on foam.  The brick wall was sponged with Morocco using a MFT stencil.  A stiff, bristle brush was used to add Tuxedo Black onto a few scattered bricks for some added interest.


The poinsettia was die cut, colored with Copic markers then shaped with Susan's Garden Tool Kit.  Here's a side view so you can see the dimension.

Happy Little Stampers is having a Poinsettia challenge that this would be perfect for.  *grin*
