Noah’s Ark
I am right into digi stamps at the moment and here is another little cutie that I have come across in my web travels; this time from Squigglefly. My inspiration for the colours and the rolling sea came from Alice Wertz’s take on Noah’s ark which can be found here.
Once again I used Derwent pencils and Gamsol. I used foam dots on the animal’s heads to give the card some dimension and also on the waves at the front. I white embossed the Hero Arts Flourish background stamp for the waves and then rubbed a mix of Atlanta and Sky Blue Versacolor inks over the embossing. Glossy Accents were used on the noses, beak and eyes of the animals. The cloudy background was made with some cloud masks I made and my sponge daubers.
Supplies: Bazzill cardstock (blue to make the card), white cardstock, Noah’s Ark digi stamp from Squigglefly, Derwent pencils, Gamsol, white embossing powder, Versacolor ink (Atlanta and Sky blue for waves and sky), sponge daubers, Hero Arts Flourish background wood mounted stamp, foam dots, Glossy Accents, circle cutters from Creative Memories, twine, Hero Arts alphabet stamps, black felt pen.
And I am really pleased as I have finally purchased some Prismacolor pencils. I have wanted some for a while now but couldn’t justify the cost, but thankfully someone was having a craft room clean out on Ebay and I picked up a relatively unused set of 48 pencils for $40!! BARGAIN!! So now I have loads more colours to play with…..
Until next time,
LOVE this! Your colours are just fab!
I am so jealous of your Prisma pencil purchase – I have been wanting some for ages… are they as good as everyone says? (I have been using Polychromos myself – although recently found an online store in au that sell Prisma colours seperately).
This was actually coloured with my set of 12 Derwents….but now that I have my Prismacolors I have soooo many more colours to choose from! Yes, the Prismas are really lovely pencils – so many colours and they are so soft (sometimes too soft and they can break really easily). But overall really happy with them.
