Wacky Wednesday #15

Good Wednesday morning. Joan is hosting Wacky Wednesday and has challenged us to make a Father’s Day project. You can find all the details about participating in the challenge and how to win a 40% discount on your next Rubbernecker order at the Rubbernecker Blog. You will definitely want to make the rounds to all the Red Hot Momma’s blog to see their wonderful projects.

I like the rowboat and cattails in the Rubbernecker Guy Stuff collection. It was fun creating this scene showing the boat pulled along shore line in the cattails. I stamped the boat, masked and stamped the cattails.  I stamped a few extra cattails and boat oars on scrap paper to cut out. I watercolored all the images using a brush and reinkers.  I masked the boat and sponged in the water area using a Color Box stylus. I sketched a tall tree up the left side of the scene and extended the  limbs out over the background area of the scene.  I used the mini fern image from my Outdoor Master to fill in around the cattails and along the water’s edge and a small leaf to fill in the tree top.  I cut slits with my craft knife along the left side of the boat to put the cattails through and added a couple along the right side of the boat.  I like how the boat really looks pulled up on shore.  I  lost my father years ago so I didn’t add a Father’s Day sentiment so I could keep this for a regular guy card when I need one.

Fun Color Challenge

The SCS Color Challenge this week was to make a single layer “white” card and only adding color with ink or embellishments.  I turned to one of my all time favorite Stampin’ Up! sets- Long-Time Friend.  The watering can image is perfect to stand on it’s own without much fuss or embellishment and I thought it would be beautiful on all white for a simple note card. I stamped the image on Prism Simply Smooth white cardstock and watercolored.  I sponged a light shade of yellow around the image to make it pop on the all white background.
