The challenge at The Male Room is to use Team Colors. I have friends that live in Ohio so I chose red and gray for Ohio State. The horseshoe, from a retired set by Theresa Momber for Gina K. Designs called Out West was stamped in VersaMark and embossed in silver on a Stormy Sky card panel. The sentiment is from Scripty Encouragement, also by Gina K Designs stamped in Red Velvet on a Red Velvet card base.
Once again Dad is looking for Nemo who’s hiding in some seagrass. The Forest Branches EF reminded me of waves, especially when embossed on Sea Glass CS. The sand and sentiment strip were cut from Kraft. The fish from Under the Sea by Theresa Momber for Gina K Designs were colored with Copics: YR04, YR07, B21, B23, B24, B28, C1. The sentiment is from the My Monthly Hero kit for January cut with the banner die that came in the kit. I edged the sentiment strip with Copic E43 to give it a little dimension. I was pondering how to create the sea grass. The sea grass from Under the Sea is lovely but was too intricate to fussy cut. I tried to hand cut some, but wasn’t satisfied with the result. Then in yesterday’s mail I got my order from Hero Arts that included the Watering Can and Fancy Flowers dies. The tulip leaves in the die set were perfect. I glued them together at the base. I put half of a dimensional on Nemo’s white stripe and one on his back and sandwiched him between the center leaf and the focal panel. The other fish I also attached with dimensionals. The sentiment strip was also attached with dimensionals. The focal panel is matted with Black Onyx, then placed on a Sea Glass card base. This was so much fun to make.
The Double D Challenge is to use a silhouette. I tried to create a western sunset with the cowboy silhouette from Out West 2 by Theresa Momber for Gina K Designs. I created the background with Distress Oxide Inks and stamped the image and sentiment from the same set with GKD Obsidian ink. Another card to my masculine card birthday stash.
