Hello Friends. Saturated Canary Challenge #34 challenged us to create a card inspired by a song. Being the music lover that I am, I just had to play along. Problem is my musical tastes are incredibly eclectic. Will my card be inspired by Elton John? Slayer? Chopin? Phantom of the Opera? Pearl Jam? How on Earth do you decide? Well, you open iTunes, hit shuffle, and become inspired by the first song you hear...that's how! So, of the 7,328 songs in my iTunes library, the first to play was "Not While I'm Around" from the musical (and later Tim Burton film) Sweeney Todd. Haven't seen it? You really do need a stomach for the worst pies in London to enjoy it, but it's one of my favs. Here's a not-so-high-quality clip from the Tim Burton film:
This song was perfect. I used to sing this to my daughter. Here is the card that came out of it using Saturated Canary's New Baby:
Colored using Copics: Hair: E21, E31, E33, E57, E59 Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, E04, R22, R20, E21, E35, E29, R81, E83, R85 Dress: V000, V01, V12, V04, V06, V09, V25, B00, B02, B16 Blanket: YG41, YG06, YG07, and 0 Everything else on the card came from the scrap pile. You gotta get rid of 'em somehow. =o D That's it! Thanks for looking!
Last Tuesday was my Jennibug's birthday. She's one of my bestest Iowa friends. We met shortly after I moved here. She even introduced me to my husband and was the Maid of Honor at our Wedding. She forced me to read Hunger Games (which I did not enjoy, but I don't fault her for that). We also play World of Warcraft and both of our main toons are Hunters. Tomorrow we're celebrating her 31st birthday with our favorite Japanese grill, some bowling, and then off to see my beloved Drag Queens perform. I had no clue what to do for a Jennibug Birthday card... ...that is, until I saw Saturated Canary's Gametime. Perfect! The current Saturated Canary Challenge is to use some office supplies, so I worked that in too. Here is my card:
The card base is Kraft. The background paper is FabScraps.
I used the Tim Holtz Butterfly Edges die cut out from Kraft paper. I distressed using Salty Ocean, Burlap, and Concord distress inks and applied crystal gems for the bellies. I painted the edges using the Snowcap Paint Dabber.
The flower is from Cricut's Flower Shoppe cartridge using Tim Holtz paper. Again, I painted the edges using the Snowcap Paint Dabber. I'm not sure where the arrow is from, it was in the random bucket.
I cut out the tab using Papertrey Ink's Library die, distressed using Burlap distress ink, and stamped the Birthday sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Framed set. Again, the paperclip is from the random bucket, but I think it Graphic 45.
Hello Friends, I have to keep this short because it is waaaay passed my bedtime. I decided to play along with this week's Saturated Canary Challenge. The task is to use at least two B's. I picked up Pearl awhile back and I haven't colored it because I'm intimidated by her hair. I still am. I had a grand plan for how this card and I'm not sure how it turned out, honestly. I think I'll nail it next time. Regardless, here is what I came up with. My B's are blue and bubbles.
I wanted to put her in water. Then I wanted the water shiny.
I colored her using copics: Hair: E21, E25, E29, E77 Skin: E000, E00, E11, E13, R20 Shells/Tail: BG000, BG13, BG49, V000, V01, V04, V06, V09 That's it!
