Paint My World - TTCRD, Distress crayon

This week's sponsor for the Through the Craftroom Door challenge is Stamp On It!

Stamp On It had it's humble beginnings in Holland MI 25+ years ago.... started out as a "home" business, soon became a storefront on the north side of Holland, grew to a 2nd storefront in Grand Rapids, before closing the Holland store and enlarging the Grand Rapids one! We began doing small craft shows years ago, slowly adding rubber stamp conventions to our schedule, expanding to almost full-time shows on the road before making the decision in the fall of 2009 to either close or sell the store. Before we were able to close the store, one of our employees voiced her desire to purchase the store! Long story short, we "sealed" the deal by the end of 2009 and became pretty much full-time rubber stamp convention vendors on the road.

For my card, I used the Art Palette and Painter for a colourful, rainbow and paint inspired card.

Putting It Together

I love paint and painting so when I found the palette and the painter in the extensive collection of digital stamps available at Stamp On It, I just had to use them.

Instead of paint, though, I used crayons, specifically a whole mess of Distress Crayons. I used a waterbrush with crayon that I scribbled on my palette and then added the paint splotches with crayon smushes direct to the paper.

I toyed wit a couple paper ideas for the background, settling on two papers from the Believe 6x6" pad from BoBunny. The other rainbow paper in the background here is from Recollections.

I used a die set from Scrapbooking Made Simple to cut the scalloped circle with cut-outs and backed it with heavy white cardstock. The sentiment is from CC Designs. I popped the palette, the circle, and the sentiment panel up with foam mounting tape and added everything to a kraft card base with just a sliver showing as a mat to the rainbow hearts.

Inside, I added a touch of humour with the Painter and another sentiment. I also used a strip of the rainbow hearts for an extra pop of colours.
