So Long Summer

Good evening :)

Here in Australia its more like here comes Summer, with it hitting us shortly.  Here in South Australia our Summers can be pretty brutal with temperatures sometimes reaching over 40 degrees celsius, and sometimes for days at a time :(  

Therefore this gorgeous image I am here to share with you for this weeks The Stamping Chef challenge is very fitting with her gorgeous large hat, and bathing costume.  The image I have used for my Design Team inspiration piece is called So Long Summer.  

I have loved this image since seeing Tamara's sketches prior to inking the lines, it is just super smexy.  So without further ado - my piece for this week :)

Copic Colours

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04

Blue - B32, B34, B37  and B39

Red - C7, R59, R29, R27, R24, R22

Orange - YR09, YR07, YR04, YR02

The next photo is a close up to show you the gorgeous colours of the Frantage I used to cover the two swirls I made from my Magnolia leaf and swirl die cut.  I covered them in embossing ink and then added aged gold Frantage to one, and aged marine Frantage to the other.  I love the effect of the Frantage when used in this way!!

The gorgeous dotted paper was a digital paper I printed from Snap Click Supply Co in a Nautical themed pack, and the stars paper is from Maja.  The gorgeous flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I hope you play along with us this week, and as always don't forget to share your Stamping Chef creations with us over in the TSC Recipes Facebook group!!

Thanks for looking

The Stamping Chef Challenge # 49

Good afternoon,

I'm here today with my design team sample for The Stamping Chef Challenge # 49  Anything Goes.

This week I have done something a little different using Toot my Scoot.  This colouring technique was inspired by my Grandmothers wedding photos from the late 30's, early 40's.  At that time colour photo's were very rare, but they did sometimes add colour to the picture once the photos had been developed.

Using my distress inks I did all my shading on the image using Black Soot, and then added a wash of colour over the top to achieve the effect. Antique Linen, Victorian Velvet, Peacock Feathers, Pumice Stone, Brushed Corduroy and Festive Berries were the other colours used to achieve the look.

Make sure you stop past The Stamping Chef store and see all the other gorgeous images available for purchase, with new ones being added all the time!

Don't forget to come share your creations with us over in the TSC Recipes Facebook group as well, we would love to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by :)
