~ There She Goes ** Blog Hop – Day 3 ~
March 29th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good Morning!
Well, here we are at day THREE of the new release blog hops and I am sooooooo excited to share with you!
Remember, if you came to me from Gabby’s Blog, you are on the right track. If not, you may wish to start back at Jessica’s blog to get the full viewing!
When Jessica contacted me about doing this new “Tastes Like Chicken” set, I was so excited. I love getting in on the designing of these sets and I had a blast drawing up some of these images. Of course, the ideas were Jessica’s, but she let me play, too! Gotta love, Jessica! My drawings were no where as cute as the final draft!
This is yet ANOTHER packed set of images. There are some suprises in this one :). I am going to leave it at that. My favorite image was this old sofa. Being the mom of four boys, many of my sofas ended with this same fate….. tattered and torn.
For the couch, I stamped it on this retro looking Crate Paper dp and cut out the appropriate areas with an xacto knife. Then I pulled the head off of a Qtip and pushed it through the holes to look like couch stuffing. I drew a old hardwood floor for it to perch on :).
Here are my deets:
Stamps: There She Goes’ Tastes Like Chicken
Colors: Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, Old Olive, Crate Paper lemongrass collection dp
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics, black sharpie
Accessories: tiny olive brads, velvet ribbons, word window punch, scissors, Qtip, tape, dimensionals, twine
