Tasty Trucks GOLF CART Card - DSC#222

Hi Stampers,

For this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#222 Product Spotlight Challenge it is all about using the new Watercolor Pencils.  I still hadn't had a chance to work with the Tasty Trucks Stamp Set  that I had received FREE as one of my Sale-a-bration items last month. Since I am a golfer and love the sport, I really wanted to do some scissor surgery on that Tasty Truck and somehow turn it into a Golf Cart. It drove me crazy!!!  Nothing I did seemed to look like a Golf Cart.  I decided to sleep on it until the day and promised myself that if I couldn't figure it out the next day, I was throwing the idea in the garbage and would just color something else. But finally...something just clicked and my Golf Cart was finally created.

This was truly a challenge for me to create!  The background was not planned, I just kept taking different inks and sponges and started swirling to create the sky, clouds, and the shading on the grass.  Finally I stamped a pine tree to the left to even things out. The coloring of the Golf Cart was done with the Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pen, and I outlined  a few areas with two of my Stampin Write Markers.  Did you catch my little Golf Bag and Golf Clubs sticking out of the back of the Golf Cart?

The finishing touch was to add the little cloud and sun and emboss the envelope liner with clouds.

Sky Is The Limit - DSC#169

Hi Stampers,
Having fun with my Sky Is The Limit Stamp Set and Guy Greetings Stamp Set  card for the DOstamper STARS Thursday DSC#169 Challenge.  That little airplane from the Sky Is The Limit is so stinkin cute isn't it?  The propeller really turns too. Hope you like the card.  Have a great week and God Bless!

I used the Sky Is The Limit Stamp Set , stamping on Crumb Cake CS for the custom look masculine paper on the front of the card and then cut it down to 3-3/4" x 3". The Basic Black CS card base was cut @ 4-1/4" x 11" and scored @ 5-1/2", and the side piece was cut @ 2-1/4" x 3-3/4".  The Whisper White layer was cut @ 4" x 5-1/4" and the banner strip @ 1-1/4" x 4-1/2". 

The sentiment was from the Guy Greetings Stamp Set.  I stamped the airplane on Whisper White CS and hand cut it out.   Crumb Cake Circle was punched out with the  1-1/4" Circle Punch Punch, and the Basic Black Circle I used the 1-3/8" Circle Punch .  The custom Envelope and Envelope Insert were both made with the Envelope Punch Board.
