A Little FUNN-ercise

My friend and upline, Mary Gunn, gave her team a little FUNN-ercise challenge a few weeks ago to create a card from Make It From Your Heart Volume 2: Pattern 28.  Mary is so creative and inspirational.   I made the card, but didn't get around to sharing it.  So, here it is...



Part of the challenge was to use background and texture paper from two different packs.  I used scraps from Lollydoodle and Balloon Ride.


I paper pieced the car image by stamping it on several different paper scraps. Then, I added Create-a-Shade Pearl Paint to the back windshield to give the illusion of reflection and red Glitz glitter gel for the taillights.  The cans are colored in with a tiny bit of Juniper ink on the tip of a slightly damp watercolor brush.  The sentiment in the stamp set says "You are the One."  I masked off the "the," giving the sentiment a new meaning.  A few sparkles and Teal Shimmer Trim add a touch of bling to the sentiment area.

Supplies:
X7180B Balloon Ride Paper pack
X7183B Lollydoodle Paper Pack
X5929 Whisper Cardstock
X5752 Juniper Cardstock
D1584 Big Hug
M1035 Newlyweds
Z2173 Slate Ink
Z2165 Juniper Ink
Z1754 Black & Grey sparkles
Z1918 Teal Shimmer Trim
Z1039 Create-a-Shade Pearl Paint
Z1151 3-D Foam Tape
Red Glitz Gel (Retired)
Watercolor Brush (Retired)

Thanks for stopping by today.  I'm hoping I can get the Balloon Ride layout I created photographed and up this weekend.

  1. This is my "Most Used" card pattern from Make it From Your Heart and I LOVE what you did with it! I didn't think I needed the "Big Hug" stamp set.... but you just convinced me that I do.
