Five of Seven

Normal is Boring - yes, sometimes it is,

but other times, it's fun to splash out and enjoy yourself.

I started off with the background paper, something that wasn't just plain white but wasn't too over the top either - would you call it boring perhaps?

I stamped Brutus directly onto the background, then again on white cardstock 
and a third time on patterned paper.

Brutus was coloured with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.  
His jacket was cut from the patterned paper and glued in place. 

Initially, the clouds were simply stamped on the background but were a bit bland, 

so to jazz them up a bit, I stamped them again on a tiny bit of leftover paper, cut them out

and glued them in place.  [I wonder if it's raining flowers?]

 There was plenty of leftover paper from the jacket to create a mat and for contrast, I  used a black card 
[this one will definitely need an insert].

To finish, glossy accents was added to his glasses and left to dry.

Three of Seven

Create your Imagination

is the title of the third card in this challenge.

I think I tried to do too much on this card

resulting in a bit of a clumsy mishmash.

The background circles are made using an embossing dauber with clear embossing powder.

The colour is 'spiced marmalade' and 'worn lipstick' Distress Oxides inks blended together, 

then the excess rubbed off the embossed bits with a tissue,

resulting in the white circles.

A couple of other background stamps were added,

followed by the little bunny who is all ready for winter showers.

As I said earlier, I think this card has too much going on,

however, it allowed me to have a play with some items which have been waiting

to be used for some time.

Stay tuned for card #4 in the Seven Cards in Seven Days challenge.
