Clubhouse for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Today I am joining the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop crew where we have a sketch challenge to follow. I love a sketch challenge, it really pushes you out of your comfort zone to try something else. I have chosen to use the Clubhouse stamp set for this hop.

To recreate the Clubhouse cared you will need:

Seaside Spray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green – 4⅞” by 2⅞”
Whisper White – 4¾” by 2¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Night of Navy – 3¼ ” by ⅜”
Country Club dsp – 5⅞” by 1¼”

I began by adhering the strip if Country Club designer series paper (dsp) to the front of the Seaside Spray card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I used an Aquapainter to colour in the trousers using only the ink I had stamped the image with. Using a little Garden Green ink and the Aquapainter I coloured in the jumper and Real Red to colour the cap and gloves.

The stamped panel was added to the Garden Green layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the whole piece was mounted on the card base with Dimensionals.

I used the Embossing Buddy on the Night of Navy strip then stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool and added it to the card base with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The image was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – open flowers in dark Daffodil Delight and light So Saffron. Buds using dark Daffodil Delight and dark So Saffron.

I began by taking the largest plain circle from the Layering Circle dies and using it to cut out the middle of a large piece of scrap Whisper White. This piece was then placed over one of the Whisper White panels as a mask and Pool Party ink was applied with a sponge to the negative space. The mask was then removed.
