My Project for this

week is:-

Hollaback Girl Digi Stamp

from Kenny K 

(one of our sponsors)

To begin with I chose a pre-cut Tri-fold White Card

(stash)

Then I cut some Pearlised Light Blue Card

(stash)

to cover the front of the Card.

for the Base I used Dark Green Card

(stash)

and I cut and extra 1.5 Wide strip so that

the front could stand up.

Next I printed off the Image 

on White DC Paper.

I coloured the Images

using my Promarker Pens.

                                               Satin                   - Skin

                                               Putty                  - Skin

                                               Blush                  - Cheeks

                                               Dusky Rose       - Lips

                                               Sunkissed Pink - Mouth

                                               Coral                   - Tongue

                                               Red                     - Nails/T-Shirt

                                               Amber                - Shoes

                                               Sunflower          - Shoes

                                               Tan                     - Hair

                                               Cinnamon          - Hair

                                               Cocoa                 - Hair

                                               Henna                - Hair

                                               Walnut               - Hair

                                               Pastel Green     - Wall

                                               Grass                 - Bracelet/Belt

                                               Holly                  - Trousers

                                               Aubergine         - T-Shirt

                                               Cool Aqua         - Wall Bricks

                                               Sky Blue           - Wall Top

                                               Azure                - Eyes/Bracelet/Wall Top

              

I then backed the Image on to a piece of stiff White Card

and cut the Image out with the Scalloped Oval Die

(X-Cut XCU503406)

I then went around the edge of the Die-Cut Image

 with my Azure Promarker Pen.

and to give it a touch of Sparkle

I went over the top of the pen with

Multi-Mix Blues Glitter

(Glitter Magic).

 to fit inside oval of the Die Cut.

 And then fussy cut out the Frame 

to fit on top of the Image,

over the Die cut Cream Card.

I went around all ot the edges 

with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink

(Tim Holtz)

 Using some Scraps of Pearlised Red, Orange and Yellow Card

and some Pearlised Purple and White Paper

(all from my scrap box)

I used 2 Flower Punches

(Petal Pair, Set 3 - Tonic)

and added them to the Blue background.

Using the Holly Promarker Pen 

I scribbled on some Grass, Flower Stems and Leaves,

under the flowers.

and drew on 2 Bumblebee's using

Sunflower and Black Promarker Pens.

  

To finish off I added to the center of the Flowers 

6mm Dotted Yellow Rhinestones

(stash).
