Backyard Boss

Hello scrappy friends !!

Today I have a card for you using the new masculine images Backyard Boss # 4377  Art Impressions has just released , they are in store but not yet available in the online store , I am itching to get my hands on more they are so darn cute ( can a masculine image be cute ..YES ).Art Impressions has a challenge up this week to use vellum in your card , so I ran with it and this is what I came up with …

Can you see what I have done … I stamped the leaf pile on my card base and then added a sheet of vellum over it and stamped my guy on the vellum  this give the illusion of lots of layer without adding bulk to your card , I really love how he turned out

let me show you how I created this card ,I am using Backyard Boss#4377 ,Falling leaves #1266 , Leaves and rake#J774 , all Art Impressions stamps

I stamp my guy on vellum

next I flip over the vellum and colored him from the back side , I used my copic marks but the color only floats on top so it takes some practice to work the ink to get some shading ,

 but when you flip the image it magically looks so much better , look I gave him a 5 O’clock shadow

next I stamped my leaf pile and the falling leaves and colored them on my card base

copic colors for this project

here I’m showing you I layered the vellum on top of the card base

inside my card

card with matching envelope

I hope you are inspired to get that vellum out and try something new with it , something that will make you SMILE : )
