Boys will be boys playing in a makeshift tent imagining great adventures in the woods. A birthday reminder to "live the life you have imagined." My card features stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, Prismacolour pencil colouring on kraft, embossing and patterned paper from Hackney & Co.
Putting It Together
I got this incredible paper pad from the artists of hackney & Co a while ago but have been a little reluctant to cut into its loveliness. But I but supplies to use them, not just admire them.I decided to use one of the sheets as a backdrop of a pair of boys playing camping in their bedroom with a blanket on chair and boxes as a tent showing their imaginary setting.
I coloured the boys and their tent using Prismacolor pencils on kraft cardstock.
I fussy cut the scene, removing the centre blank area to make it less weight and reveal the background. I trimmed the patterned paper to fit on an A2 cardbase with a thin area of the cardbase showing as a mat. I dry fit the placement along with a sentiment from the stamp set.
"Life the life you have imagined!" -H.D. Thoreau
Inside, I embossed a strip of the scrap on the reverse side with a birthday greeting in the same green.
