Hello bellas!
Amy here with a new Scenic Saturday card to share. The latest release saw the addition of so many great new stamps to the store, including this CURVY GIRL PLAYS TENNIS image. She looks quite confident as she poses with her ball and racket, so much so that I thought she could use a tennis court background to call home. Since I myself do not play tennis, my first step was to Google photos of tennis courts to give me an idea of where to start. In fact, Google images is one of my best resources whenever I want to create any kind of background that I haven’t done before.
For this card in particular, I was inspired to recreate a clay court with a tall green screen fencing it in. Looking at the photo I was able to simplify the design into three distinct horizontal sections; the court, the fence and the sky/tree section at the top. By breaking the scene down into pieces like that, tackling a new background feels much more manageable. The net was created by leaving a narrow strip of white card stock showing as I colored in the green fencing, then using a black multi liner pen I drew in the netting below. For the finishing touch, I heat embossed the sentiment from the ENCOURAGEMENT SENTIMENT SET so that it would tie in with all of the other white accents throughout the scene. I hope this card inspires you to make the most of internet image searches the next time you want to create your own card backgrounds. 🙂
Stay crafty my friends!

Hi! Tamara here with you. For this Sunday I made a card using one of the newly released images called Oddball Glinda Oz The Good Witch rubber stamp. She’s one of the ODDBALL OZ themed images, there are also Dorothy, Wicked Witch, Cowardly Lion, Flying Monkey, Tinman, Scarecrow, I loooove them all! Plus there is an EMERALD CITY BACKDROP to go with them, and the OZ SENTIMENT SET.
Image was stamped using Archival Ink – Jet black on 300 g HP watercolour paper. For colouring I used Distress ink pads.
Distress colours used are:
skin: vintage photo
eyes: salty ocean
hair: antique linen, walnut stain
dress: saltwater taffy
crown: black soot
To make the dress look glittery I added small dots made with my brush and small dots with my gel pen. After fussy cutting the image and adding it to the card I added small dots with glitter glue (stickles – star dust).
Background was made with alcohol inks.
Sentiment “You can do anything with the right shoes.” is part of the OZ sentiment set (also NEW!!!).
That’s all for now. Have a great Sunday.
Hugs, t.
