It has been far too long since I've played along with my favorite blog challenge - the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. Each week I *intend* to play, but somehow it doesn't quite happen. But this week I MADE SURE to get my card done! The movie is one of my favorite - the second of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Two Towers. My card is inspired by my favorite character in this movie, Treebeard, and the rest of the Ents. I used my FireCracker Designs by Pamela set called Little Things (which I thought was an aptly titled set to use for a movie primarily about Hobbits!). The rule this week was to include embossing - I used clear embossing powder in a resist technique, so I could use a brayer to create the background without inking up the trees. The "Have Courage" sentiment is also in this same set - again, appropriate, because those little Hobbits show such great courage in all of the Lord of the Rings movies! Thanks Brooke & Sankari for another fun inspiration!
Stamps: Little Things from FireCracker Designs by Pamela
Paper: Taken with Teal, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: SU Always Artichoke, Taken with Teal, Chocolate Chip, Memento Tuxedo Black
oh the background color is just so foresty soothing...I can almost see Legolas walking back there....nice interpretation of the movie....I LOVE the Ents! grin
I love this card! Is this the same color scheme you used for the one cupcake to rule them all? That's a great tree stamp. I want to draw a face and a beard on it, but of course, I can't draw....
HI Libby! I haven't been around much checking out my fav. blogs. So I stopped in and I love what I have been looking at. FaceBook and FarmTown were overtaking my life. But I think I am back on track and back in the creating mode. I opened up an Etsy shop for my creations as well. Hope to be back playing with Courtney's Closet challenges soon! Hugs from one Texan to another. Beautiful cards too!!!

It has been far too long since I've played along with my favorite blog challenge - the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. Each week I *intend* to play, but somehow it doesn't quite happen. But this week I MADE SURE to get my card done! The movie is one of my favorite - the second of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Two Towers. My card is inspired by my favorite character in this movie, Treebeard, and the rest of the Ents. I used my FireCracker Designs by Pamela set called Little Things (which 
I thought was an aptly titled set to use for a movie primarily about Hobbits!). The rule this week was to include embossing - I used clear embossing powder in a resist technique, so I could use a brayer to create the background without inking up the trees. The "Have Courage" sentiment is also in this same set - again, appropriate, because those little Hobbits show such great courage in all of the Lord of the Rings movies! Thanks Brooke & Sankari for another fun inspiration!

ReplyDeleteWow! This card is phenomenal, love the look of the background!
ReplyDeleteI love this card! Is this the same color scheme you used for the one cupcake to rule them all? That's a great tree stamp. I want to draw a face and a beard on it, but of course, I can't draw....
ReplyDeleteGreat card - I love Treebeard, too! I love the colors and the reverse embossing technique is great! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHI Libby! I haven't been around much checking out my fav. blogs. So I stopped in and I love what I have been looking at. FaceBook and FarmTown were overtaking my life. But I think I am back on track and back in the creating mode.
