Mt. Rushmore

THIS IS MY 2ND POST TODAY SO BE SURE TO SCROLL DOWN!


My brother recently rode his bicycle (yes, he pedaled!) from St. Louis, Missouri to South Dakota. You can read about his adventure here. I wanted to commemorate this ride with his birthday card. I was so excited to see Kittie’s scene challenge and new this was the perfect opportunity!

I made “Mt. Rushmore” by finding some pics of it on the internet. I looked for a face stamp that was approximately the correct size (enter Fella). I masked off Fella’s body and stamped just his face (using my stamp-a-majig) in the approximate locations that the faces were carved on Mt. Rushmore. I colored my Mt. in shades of grey and surrounded the base with trees.

Stamps: Pink Cat Studio Lily & Billy Sweetheart Stamps, Stamping Bella Grillafella, Rubbernecker Kittie Kit Cause a Scene The Moose is Loose #2, Birthday Whimsy
Paper: GP110, Basic Black, Basic Grey
Ink: Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Wild Wasabi, Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Basic Black, Ranger Distress Ink Broken China, Momento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copics, White Gel Pen, Fine Black Marker, Stamp-a-Majig

Enjoy!
