Snoopy and another Timeless Tuesday Challenge

Betty Wright, is the challenge host over at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (there is a link in my sidebar). They are challenging everyone to ”fake it” by using faux techniques on the cards and projects.

I really struggled with this one. I tried several different techniques and didn't like any of them. I did a faux metal item where I embossed lots of times and then tried to impress a stamp in the metallic mush. It embossed but looked like crud.  I tried the Cracked glass technique, only I have no UTEE, so I tried it with the Versamark and Clear Embossing powder. It looked really cool up until the point that I actually tried to crack it. Eh.

So I fell back onto making faux metal. I cut out a frame from two Nesties, and embossed it a couple of times with silver EP. I think it looks like aluminum foil. I also took the silver slippery paper and embossed it in the Cuttlebug with a Diamond-plate folder.

For the Snoopy (a cute stamp from Stampabilities) I used the following Copic markers. 

RED - R22, 24, 27, 29, 59

YELLOW - Y11, 13, 15

GREY - C1, 3, 5

BLACK - C5, 7, 9 and 100

GLASS - B0000, B000

GROUND - W00, W1

BROWNS - E25, 27, 29

As a side note on the helmet after I colored it with the C5, 7, 9, I went back over it with W6 to give it a little bit of a different color.

The Red was fun to color and I tried to make it look like it had a custom paint job on it that faded from front to back.
I also sponged using Brilliance Blue ink for the sky.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you come back.
