For The Boys

Best friends.....

After cutting the masks I made a plan.

One by one I stamped a boy starting with the little one in the front and ended with the biggest 

"Miguel Has A Gift"

After coloring I put the masks on the guys and blended the background with Distress Ink.

Well used masks!

A lot of fussy cutting (the masks), stamping, embossing and coloring.

I had a lot of fun creating this with the "boys".

The Stampotique Stamps I've used are:

APPROACH WITH CAUTION

I like to combine stamps and that may be from different designers.
The Stampotique stamps lend themselves very well to doing that.
A combination is created suddenly.
I wanted to use Jillian with something on her head.
The Spiral Daydream was already ready to use.
My eye fell on the cactus and the combination was made.

The Stampotique Stamps I've used are:

Prickly Pear Cactus designed by Kira Nichols;
Jillian and the Spiral Daydream background both designed by Daniel Torrente

Finding the write spot to stamp and mask

                                       

The masks after finishing the background

A great Challenge.

A lot of masking and coloring I loved it!

First a lot of stamping and masking.

Next step the background!

Blending, blending and blending with the good old Distress Ink.

The last step undo the images from the masks  and the coloring started with my beloved Polychromos.

I had a lot of fun creating this.
