PKS Challenge 13-8 :: 3D Objects :: Metal

My first challenge entry!!!

Peachy Keen Stamps has weekly challenges with specific themes ... this week, 3D objects / metal.  The metal portion could be either the main part of your creation or metal embellishments could be used.  I chose to use a miniature glavanized steel pail for my project.

I had many projects recently that required me to use a LOT of pink so I made sure that I didn't use it for this project.

Here is my kreation:

Items used:

• Used a border punch to create the brown strip at the bottom.  The strip is .5" tall.
• Lightly inked with a slightly darker brown
• Used a strip of pattern paper, 1.75" tall.
• Scored & "z" folded every .25" inch
• Inked top edge, bottom edge and peaks of the folds
• Flower layers
• Used 4 white paper flowers of various sizes
• 4th layer (largest), (1) edged in tobacco brown ink, filled with bright yellow ink
• 3rd layer, (1) colored with pine green ink
• 2nd layer, (2) colored with turquoise blue ink
• Used 2 yellow flowers as first layer
• Stamped PKS - Dolly Dumplins Face : .5"

Kody's Birthday

My nephew just turned 10 and I wanted to make a card for him ... but how do you make a card that a 10 year old MIGHT appreciate? Let's face it ... kids don't usually pay attention to the cards that accompany a gift.  Knowing that he is a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog and that I needed to keep it simple, this is what I came up with.  May not be the most impressive, but hopefully he'll like it.

• Used pre-scored 4" x 5.5" blank card (portrait)
• Cut 3.75" x 5.25" light green rectangle
• Cut 3.25" x 4.75" white rectangle
• Embossed using a pattern of rings and circles
• Rubbed yellow ink pad over the texture
• Used yellow stickels on a few of the rings and circles
• Printed Sonic the Hedgehog image and cut
