Tammy Buccaneer - 40th Birthday

Todays blog post is to show off one of my most favourite Saturated Canary digistamps, "Tammy Buccaneer" and what's more, this digistamp is absolutely free for those who join the Saturated Canary Facebook Group!

 
This card is for a 40th Birthday (for my sister in fact!) and is just stunning if I may say so myself!

I used various papers, card and lace from my stash and Nenah Card for printing Tammy onto.  The flower dies are by Sizzix, the tag behind the 40 is by Tonic, and the flourish by Tonic also.  The "40" is chipboard, painted up and glittered!
 
 
Tammy is coloured in the following Promarkers:
SKIN: Ivory, Blush, Coral, Soft Peach, Dusky Pink
HAIR: Ginger, Spice, Cardinal Red
DRESS: Marine, Petrol Blue
BOOTS: Cool Grey 2 to 5
OTHERS: Putty, Tan, Buttercup, Tulip Yellow, Moss

I highlighted the earrings and coins with Stickles then inked the edges of the card with "Gathered Twigs" distress ink after distressing them scissors.
 
I painted the chip board numbers with white acrylic paint followed by yellow and red roughly mixed together.  Whilst the coloured coat was still wet I sprinkled them with copper and red fine glitters.

  13. Oh, you make the most beautiful cards, Sam. I really love the intricate touches you added here. The coloring is fantastic, you really make the image POP and the touch of the painting and glitter on the 40 is grand, I'm glad you zoomed in on it so the effect from real life can be seen in the photo. Your sister must have LOVED this card, I'm sure of it. Who wouldn't? Thank you for taking the time to enter at Opus Gluei twice, I'm so happy you like the theme enough to play with us! Please, come back as many times as you like, we LOVE to see what a challenge prompt inspires!
