PS SPARKS Challenge Entry 2 - T-Rex tag

Hey,

It's my second entry into Papersmooches SPARKS challenge. The inspirational challenge this week is based on the following picture:


My result...


The tag base is a wood panel patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Bright Side and measures 2 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches. I stamped the "hey buddy" sentiment from PS Simply Said using Distress ink Broken China. I then glued down some velvet blossoms from Maya Road.
 
Onto my critter...its the T-Rex from PS Party Posse and is coloured in using Copic Ciaos (B02, B05, B63, V17 and V06). I added Ranger black enamel accents to his eye to make it more visible.
 
To finish off I added an eyelet and some twine from WRMK. I also added some highlighting to the critter using a white gel pen.
 
NOTE: I'm also entering this into SSS Wednesday Challenge - Tag it.

Have a great weekend!

PS SPARKS Challenge Entry 1 - Picture Perfect

Hey Everyone,

Papersmooches are holding their weekly SPARKS challenge...and what fun! The inspirational challenge this week is based on a picture as shown below:



So I was enthusiastic to find a way to actually recreate this image...as I said it was fun and a challenge indeed!

Here's the result...


Let's get started....my base consists off white cardstock measuring 4 1/8 by 7 3/4 inch. I used a woodgrain patterned paper from Heidi Grace Day Dream paper pad which is 1/16inch smaller on either sides and is adhered directly to the base. 

I hand drew the shape of the bottles on blue and black cardstock and cut them out using scissors and a craft knife. More details of the bottles below for quick referencing:

Blue Bottle
- Measures 4 1/8 inch tall by 1 1/2 inch wide,
- I heat embossed an image from Prima using Ranger Orange Sherbet onto a acetate sheet,
- Contains blue sequins for the "shaker" part,
- Stamped the stalk image from PS Botanicals 1 using Distress ink Crushed Olive,
- The centre of the flower is stamped from PS Botanicals 2 using Distress ink Mustard Seed, and
- The petals were created using a repeated stamping technique of the image from PS Botanicals 2 set using Hero Arts Poppy chalk ink.

Black Bottle
- Measures 4 1/8 inch tall by 1 1/2 inch wide,
- I stamped an image from Kaisercrafts 75 Cents stamp set using Dew Drop Pretty Petunia onto a white cardstock, hand cut it out and adhered it to the acetate,
- Contains black sequins for the "shaker" part,
- Stamped the stalk image from PS Botanicals 1 using Distress ink Crushed Olive,
- The centre of the flower is stamped from PS Botanicals 2 using Distress ink Mustard Seed, and
- The petals were created using a repeated stamping technique of the image from PS Botanicals 2 set using Dew Drop Pretty Petunia ink.

I completely assembled the card, stamped my "thrilled for you" sentiment from PS Simply Said Stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black and lastly added some purple stitching.

I hope you liked the card! Please do leave comments and tell me what you think of my interpretation of the challenge...:)

Have an awesome week ahead and happy crafting!
