~ Simply Hoppin’ ~

October 15th, 2009 by

Good morning, friends!

Yup, it’s that time again!   The INKgirls are hoppin’ to show you the new releases from Artful Inkables.   If you’ve arrived here from Julie’s blog, then you are in the right spot!  If not, you may wish to start back at the beginning (Kristin’s blog ~ AI) to get the full show.

You are going to see two new sets today.   I chose to show off the new Down on the Farm set.   Ok, I will admit, I am a tractor kinda girl.  I just adore the images in this set and wanted to use them ALL, but that wasn’t going to work :).   I’ve also been challenging myself to try more CAS cards.   I think this will qualify as CAS.

I did alot of masking on this image, something I am challenged to do.   I figure if you’re going to cut out a mask, why not just cut the image out and pop it?  Well, I got over that with this card.   I masked the images to create the scene, then ”spotlighted” the chicken.   I actually put a piece of acetate under the spotlight to make it look like a looking glass, but that was hard to capture in the picture.

Here are my deets:

Stamps: Artful Inkables‘ Down on the Farm

Colors: Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, GP White

Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, copics

Accessories: ribbon, oval nesties, acetate, sticky tape, dimensionals, circle punches

Now it’s time for you to pop on over to Emily’s blog to see what goodies she has in store!   Thanks for stopping by!   I hope you have a blessed day!

    Very cute and creative card! I’ve only used the masking technique once or twice myself. I love how you used it to incorporate the rooster into your scene!

    That’s always one of my favorite techniques, when there is too much to color.

    Super, Holly! I am a convertible-type of girl myself. tee hee! We don’t have many tractors here in coastal Florida. I think we are missing out on a lot of fun!
    Don’t you love the cute sentiments that accompany these cute animals?

    Fantastic card. Love how you did the masking on your scene and then used the Spotlight technique for your roster image.

    great spotlighting. This is a technique that I haven’t tried yet! It scares me a bit. 🙂
