Vacation! Challenge #18 with Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog

Hi! It's Beverly, aka Artsystamper.
It's time for the customer challenge at the Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog! 
The theme is 
Vacation!
The talented design team has created some creative inspiration projects, so be sure to check them out.
Here is what I have created...
 You can find this set in my Etsy Shop. It's called, Sandpiper Set.


This card is created with only 1 digital set. You can simply print out as many as you need. I printed an extra sandpiper and used his wing. A inked around the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink. It's attached with dimensionals.
I printed the background sandpipers, which come already colored in my set (same as the sandpiper...colored and uncolored), onto the background which also comes with the sandpiper as an additional image. Then I added the sentiment which also comes with the set. Some of the sandpipers  were flipped, and some erased...in Gimp. 

I layered the image onto a sand colored card stock which was embossed and inked with the walnut stain. But before I added the main image, I inked its edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide. 

The final step was to add some Elmer's Glue with a spatula and sprinkle crushed shells that I bagged up at the beach and brought home.

Outdoorsman Set



Hi! It's Beverly, aka Artsystamper.
It's time for the customer challenge at the Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog! 
The theme is 
It's a Guy Thing
The talented design team has created some creative inspiration projects, so be sure to check them out.
Here is what I have created...
This card is created with several digital sets, and is totally digital. As a digital card, you can simply print out as many as you need...dad, father in law, son, son in law, brother...etc.

I used 3 of my digi sets to create this card. 
First,  I chose the Outdoorsman stamp set. 

Outdoorsman Stamp Set
Using Open Office, I first added the man and his dog to my drawing document, and sized him for a standard card layer at 3.75 x 5 inches. I then layered the scenery stamp behind him, and increased the transparency to make it look further away.

The flying ducks were then added, sized to look far away, but not as far away as the scenery. Then I added the sentiment. 
Behind all of the images, I added a vintage sky from my Wintry Paper Pack. I use this paper pack for a lot of skies. It also was sized to 3.75 x 5 inches.


The final layer is from the Autumn's Gifts Pack. So great to be able to add it to create a nature theme.
It was sized to 4.25 x 5.5 inches, giving me a nice 1/2 inch border.
