Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Theme: Movement Challenge #063

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and I thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #063. Today we have been given the theme 'Movement'.

Movement could be a speeding car with flames shooting from it as I have stamped or it could be sport, personal exercise, the wind blowing the trees or even a group of people fighting for a cause. 

These stamp sets reminded me of a set of cards created a few years ago by a NZ demonstrator Kristine McNickle. I thought they were great masculine cards so I have CASED them for this challenge.

The car and the sentiment are from the Geared Up Garage set in the annual. The sand buggy, dirt bike and truck are from the Pedal to the Metal set from the 2020 Mini catalogue. But would you believe the churned up sand and dirt and exploding flames stamp is the Painted Poppy stamp set also from the 2020 Mini Catalogue.

I always love it when Stampin' Up! includes some masculine stamp sets in their catalogues as I really struggle making cards for the boys.

Thank you for visiting me.  I hope you have been inspired by the projects I have presented today. Please, you are more than welcome to enter your projects for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges here. We really would love to see your creations. Note we need your projects submitted by 10am.

Global Design Project #GDP176 Case the Designer

The Global Design Project for this week is CASE the very talented designer Steffi Helmschrott.

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

The idea to CASE a project is to take something you like from the design and make it your own. It could be the stamp set - the colours, the layout, the theme, the images - whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own. Well I really loved Steffi's card- the colours and the layout. I needed to make a masculine card for my Father's upcoming Birthday. So I have used the variation of bright colours for my card background as Steffi has done plus the gears to reflect her circular embossed shapes.

Using the Geared Up Garage Bundle from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue I have created a male Birthday card. Dad has always loved cars, but due to failing health and advancing age he surrendered his drivers licence and sold his beloved car last year. I think if he had of been a teenager when he first got his driver's licence he would have been a real rev head. But due to the economic circumstances of the time he was in his 30's before he learnt to drive and could afford to buy a car. 

To create my background I took my Brusho Crystal Colours out of the cupboard and did some experimenting. I used the Brilliant Red, Gamboge and Yellow colours spayed my whisper white cardstock with water, lightly sprinkled my Brusho powders then allowed them to run. I then resprayed the cardstock again and blotted the water off a little. I was happy with the effect but the funny thing is when I turned the cardstock over I liked the back better. So I used the flip side for my card. 

The gears were diecut from silver foil then sponged with StazOn black ink to give them a grungy look. 

Thank you for visiting me today. I hope you find inspiration from my project. For even more inspiration pop on over to the Global Design Project page here.
