Stamps R Us Challenge Blog has a Nature theme and the sponsor is Digi Doodle.
I chose this gorgeous digi image of a set of wolves- WOW- doesn’t this just call for a Zindorfian type brayering experience??? On a digital image? Well- that’s another challenge……but it worked!
I printed out my digital images on cardstock AND on copy paper. I cut out the copy paper images and put them on top of the cardstock images. I punched out a 1 3/4” circle from a Post-it note and placed it over the images as well. I simply held the copy paper masks over the Wolves (the post it moon helps the papers stay put because it has a touch of adhesive on it). For the brayering, first I used Blue Bliss, second Night of Navy and then added some Black in the four corners. I sponged a touch of the lightest blue and a smidge of So Saffron over the moon.
I colored the Wolves with Copics C1, C3 and C5. I added a touch of W5 for the eyes. The main panel is backed with black cardstock-which is distressed, then So Saffron and then Night of Navy.
So what do you think? Who needs to spend zillions of $$$ on e-bay for that retired set when we can use a digi? (LOL)
