I stamped the bolts in black, colored and shaded them with colored pencils and went back to highlight with a white gel pen. There is also additional shading along the bolts for dimension. I suppose a normal stamper probably would have used Copics but my budget doesn't like them so I don't have any. For added interest, the white sentiment panel extends beyond the card itself and is cut at an angle. The weather has been awful-terrible, raining...which makes photographing cards a bit difficult. I also can't see my table top to use the photo bulb-suppose it is time to clean it up.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great father's day card! I love how you highlighted the bolts!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, one of these days I will have to get that stamp set.
ReplyDeleteWow! Although you don't notice it on first glance, the white gel-pen highlights make a world of difference. Without them it would look quite flat, but they sure look amazing with it!
ReplyDeleteExcellent card for Father's day! Love those bolts!
ReplyDeleteThose bolts are so cool, I thought you drew them on. I love how you can make stamps so "un-stamp" like. haha
ReplyDeleteLove this, Karen! Those bolts are the coolest; you've created so much depth with them, they look real! You're my stampin' idol ...
ReplyDeleteStampin idol, wow, you've got a groupie! Nice job on the card!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. My budget doesn't like Copics either and anyway personally I think pencils can look better. (Not so bright)
ReplyDeleteLove this card. I have just bought a few Copics (I highly recommend the Copic Club at SavvynSassy .com if you want Copics at a deal - in Canadian prices, though) but since I don't know how to use them yet, I tend to grab coloured pencils first anyhow.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to try that highlighting technique! Love the card Karen!
ReplyDeleteWith coloring skill like this, you really don't need Copics at all! What a cool card!
ReplyDeleteWow -- your coloring is just fabulous, Karen! I couldn't stop staring at your card -- kept turning my laptop to catch the light better, adjusting my screen... wow, wow, wow. Can you tell that I'm very impressed?
ReplyDeleteWOW! The bolts look almost REAL! You are so amazing . . .
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you in Round 2!!!! Your card is so fun!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one without copics!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! Those bolts are fantastic- the gel pen & it looks like glossy accents (?) make a world of difference! Such impact!
I won't get to see first thing tomorrow- but I'm sure I'll be seeing your name in the next round!!!! Good luck!
really cool dad's day card!! love the bolts and how you colored them!
