Yadda, yadda, yadda...


Every once in awhile, inspiration strikes and I end up with something that tickles my bones.  Don't ask what it means or what it's for... I haven't a clue  - but it amuses me!  And someday the perfect occasion will arise!


Heather from Lacy Sunshine Stamps has provided this image for me to use.
Aud Sentiments' Thursday Challenge is "Cute + a Sentiment".  This is the 2nd week of the two week challenge - you have till June 2 to submit up to five entries for a chance at winning some of these wonderful images from Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  If you get a block on ideas - take the easy route and check out the inspiration projects from the DT.

PROCESS INVENTORY
IMAGES: 
  • For the focal image I used Paper Tole Technique to 3D this image. Printed 3 copies, colored them with Copics, fussy cut and 'paper sculpted' the image.  The layers were both glued & elevated with foam tape to achieve dimension.
  • "Definitions Background" rubber stamp by Rubber Stampede
  • Sentiment by Rubber Stampede
  • Image is "Reggie Sweet Urchin" from Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  The Hank Williams' song - "Little Paper Boy" makes me think of him.  If you like this image, you can purchase him HERE.
PAPER:  

  • Neenah "Classic Crest Solar White" 80# Cover Wt. used for the image.
  • CS for base card and layers from stash.
EMBELLISHMENTS: 
  • McGill punch used for the tab
  • Die cut tag by Lil Inker Designs "Stitched Rectangles"
  • Cream colored waxed linen used for the stitching and the wrap for the tag.
  • Teeny metal brads used for scattered "cobblestones" from stash.
  • Tim Holtz Distressing Tool used on edges of image layer and tag
INKS:
  • "Old Paper" Distress Ink used to ink all the edges 
  • Images were printed on an Epson WF-3520 printer 
  • Hand colored with Copics:
