Sammibug's Scrapshack: Just Swimming By To Say Hi!

Monday, July 30, 2012

Whoo Hoo! I'm so excited! I've been invited to be a Guest Designer at Paper make Up Stamps! This week is my guest designer week! Yay! I had the pleasure of working with this wonderful team for this challenge, and had so much fun! The theme is a fun one, too! The theme this week is "Summer," so it was a fun and easy theme! So fitting, too, for this hot weather we've been having! I sure hope you will play along with us, this week, in our summer themed challenge, at Paper Make Up Stamps.

For my project this week, I used the image and sentiment, Suzie, from Paper Make Up Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used this fun water wave paper, paired with this summer themed paper, both from my stash. The pretty blue pleated ribbon is by Stampin Up. I used blue rain spots for embellishing. I wanted Suzie to look like she is under water, so I tried a new technique after coloring her. I sponged over the entire image with blue ink, to mute the colors and make the image have a bluish tone, to hopefully make it appear she's under water. I like how it turned out. What do you think? Does she look like she's under water?

I am using this photo from Just Inspirational Challenges, for my photo inspiration:
