Today we have a bit of a round-up of a few things I have done lately.
First we have the birthday card I made for Aimee.
Liberty Meadows Birthday Card
Aimee is big fan of Liberty Meadows and Frank Cho. I picked up a cheap copy of Liberty Meadows #4 and used the cover to make the card. I also took a panel from one the strips in the book and put it in the inside of the card. She really liked it.
Next we have a few Peanuts Christmas cards,
Peanuts Christmas Cards
During one of my many excursions to Hobby Lobby, they were having a sale on rubber stamps and ink pads. I saw this stamp and thought it was pretty cool. The other day I finally got around to giving it a run through. This went much easier than the one other time I tried stamping and picture looked really nice on the blank card. All that was left was for me to flex my coloring in the lines skill from way back and color in the stamp with some colored pencils. These turned out pretty nice. I would image a fair number of people will be receiving one of these cards during the holiday season. Oh, and can you guess which cards I used the white colored pencil and which i did not?
And finally, we have my first attempt at an artist trading card,
Flash ATC
I used the Flash comic I cut up previously for the Corner Art Collage I put up last week. Basically, I glued a bit of the comic page to the trading card as the background and then glued the Flash on top of that background. Because I was not paying attention to what I was doing, I ended up with Flash on top of two layers of cardstock. It ended up being a pretty nice effect. I am still not sure what I think of this card yet. I go back and forth on whether I like or not, but I submit it for your approval none the less.
And last but not least, I wanted to get the hype machine going on what will Monday’s blog post. It is awesome and quite possibly the coolest thing I have done so far. You will look upon Monday’s update and be lost in the awesomeness of my creation, or at least I hope you will like it.
I am not kidding, it is really freaking cool.
Anyway, let me know what you think. I’ll take the good with the bad, but hopefully there is more good than bad.
