En Papillote Arts: Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #139 "Boy Oh Boy"

For our challenge this week at Stamptacular Sunday, you will create a card or project with a boy/man on it. How easy is that?!? Be creative, but please don’t forget to stamp. We are STAMPtacular after all!

Here is my design team card for some inspiration.

I ADORE A Day for Daisies images! They are wonderful for coloring and paper piecing. Their designs are creative and elegant, in a playful way. I chose this adorable image, Van Gogh, to go with a bunch of different pp but used Basic Grey's Life of the Party for it's youthful feel. I used one piece for the punched out top part of the card and another for cutting up into a pleasing border to go with the image. The bottom piece is from MME Lost & Found Two - Rosy.

After coloring the image with some primary color Copics, I positioned the embossing folder over it. I love this folder because of the blank area inside the swirls. It's great for sentiments too. The swirls reminded me of the doodles I used to draw as a child! I was going to make this a birthday card, but then remembered I had this Hero Arts stamp with the word "ART" on it and decided it would a perfect card for any occasion.

One tip - once I had all the paper elements assembled, I sprayed with Glimmer Mist. I use this on most of my images colored with Copics because I think it gives it a watercolor-painted feel and just makes it look finished. I also gave the artist's pallet a few dots of Glossy Accents to make it look like oil paints.

Don't forget to check out the cards from the other Design Team ladies. They are AMAZING!
