This Challenge is #143 at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie and the inspiration photo is bright, fun and masculine. Not that tools can't be for a woman, but I'm also thinking of Father's Day coming up. So, interpret the photo in our own way and link up a project for us ..
For my card, I used a different play on tools .. My guy, Brian is an excellent chef and loves to cook on the grill. So my "tools" are for grilling - tongs and a fork !!
- I used the digi stamp BBQ Bear by Lily of the Valley Digi Shop on ETSY. The images were printed on a piece of light brown cardstock and Neenah Stardust White cardstock .
- I fussy-cut the bear pieces out of the light brown paper and adhered them to the image on the Stardust White cardstock.
- I cut the cardstock to fit on a navy A2 card base.
- I colored the image with a variety of markers - Sharpies, Faber-Castell and Brea Reese.
- The tools were colored with a metallic TUL pen.
- I adhered 3 strips of paper that coordinated with the colors in the inspiration photo and placed them horizontally down the right side of the card .
- A paper-punched cork heart was stapled to the upper area of the Bear using a turquoise staple.
- The BBQ Bear image was adhered over the strips of paper on the left side of the card.
Take a moment and look at the other projects from the Design Team over at the If You Give a Crafter a Cookie BLOG . I'm excited to see what they have created !! I hope that you are all staying safe and keeping busy as we navigate these times of COVID-19.My creative motivation comes and goes. But I try to do something creative every day, even if it's just looking at a craft magazine or stamps that I haven't used yet !!
Until next time ...
Stay Creative
