VISIBLE IMAGE - JULY CHALLENGE...

Hello lovelies!

 

Wow, can you believe we are now in July? As it is the 1st July today that means that we have another fantastic challenge at VISIBLE IMAGE  The July challenge is a theme I just know you will all love.

 

The theme for this month is...

 

'Inspired By A  Song'

 

and here is where you will find the challenge...

 

VISIBLE IMAGE JULY CHALLENGE 

 

I have used EDWARD for my card and I have chosen the song...

 

'Diamonds Are Forever' by Shirley Bassey from the James Bond film!

 

 

I have also used the IMMORTAL LOVE STAMP SET  and the VISIBLE IMAGE FREEBIE WITH THE JULY ISSUE OF CRAFT STAMPER MAGAZINE 

 

The other materials you need to make this are...

 

~ White Card

~ Memento Ink Tuxedo Black

~ Letraset Promarkers in shades: Skin: Almond ~ Putty ~ Sunkissed Pink ~ Coral

Hair: Sandstone ~ Umber

Clothes: Lipstick Red ~ Poppy ~ Ruby ~ Crimson ~ Cardinal Red ~ Ice Grey 3 ~ Ice Grey 4 ~ Cool Grey 4 ~ Cool Grey 5 ~ Warm Grey 2

Outline: Warm Grey 1

~ Sakura Gelly Roll Pen Black Sparkle

~ Color Box Fluid Chalk ink pad Warm Red

~ Crafter's Companion Spray & Sparkle Silver

~ 8"x8" square white card blank

~ Ruler

~ Scrap paper

~ Self adhesive gem stones

 

How to make...

 

~ Using the border stamp from the JULY CRAFT STAMPER MAGAZINE stamp all the way around the edges of the card blank using the black ink to create a border. Ink the edges with the warm red chalk ink.

~ Stamp EDWARD in the centre of your white card. Colour with the Promarkers. Stamp again onto white scrap paper, fussy cut out and this is your mask. Lay the mask over the coloured image.

~ Stamp the flourish from the IMMORTAL LOVE SET with the black ink as shown to create the background. Stamp the forever just underneath Edwards feet and use the freebie stamp again to stamp a border all the way round. Lay your ruler at each edge and carefully tear the card towards you to make a distressed border. Ink the edges with the warm red ink. With the mask still in place spray the Silver Sparkle over the stamped card.

~ Stick gems into the centre of each flourish, the corners and the bottom of the forever.

~ To finish add the wording as shown in the bottom left corner and top right corner of the card blank with the Black Sparkle pen. Use foam pads to attach the stamped card to the base card.

 

I think 'Edward' posing as 'James Bond' looks quite cool!
