Featured Design Team Series: Dinomite Parade by Amber MacMurtry

Dinomite Parade
Doodles Paper Playground
By Amber MacMurtry





Happy 4th of July everyone!



In celebration of the White Rose Crafts "We Are The World", Independence Day week promotion, I created a card using my own melting pot of WRC products, imported from different parts of the globe.



I started by selecting my supplies. I chose the Bo Bunny Firecracker 6x6 paper collection, Fiskars Kapow stamp set, Woodware Dino Friends stamp set, Heffy Doodle Elfish Antics and Hello Squeakheart stamp sets
I picked 3 sheets from the paper pack--I love that these patterns have versatility, beyond patriotic cards--and I cut a strip of the stars & stripes pattern to use as my road, and I stamped the explosion word bubble from the Fiskars Kapow stamp set in the center of a sheet of the patriotic rays printed paper using Medieval Blue Versafine Clair ink. I fussy cut the image and set both aside. Next, I selected the wavy, tone on tone star pattern as my sky and adhered it to a landscape, top folding 5x7 card base, with my "road" strip placed at the very bottom, knowing I would need to trim the card.



Next, I selected 2 of the dinosaur images from the Woodware Dino Friends stamp set, and stamped them on smooth white cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, so I could color them with my Copic markers. I also stamped the train engine and car from Heffy Doodle Elfish Antics and the exercise wheel, water bottle & two mice from the Hello Squeakheart stamp sets and as an afterthought, stamped one of the puffs of smoke from the Kapow set to use as firework smoke. I decided to stick to the color palette in the paper pack, and colored my images in mostly red, blue & yellow--making the dinosaurs green and the mice a light brown. Once colored, I fussy cut all of my images, right on the line.



Using EK Success Two Way Glue Pen, I began to assemble my parade. I adhered the dinosaur in the wind up car first. I glued the running mouse into his wheel, and adhered it in one of the train cars. Then, I flipped over the water bottle image, adhering the other mouse behind it--using it as a launch tube for my fireworks. I used a kraft knife to cut a slit to slide the white puff of smoke into. Once the glue had set, I adhered my little train to the card, behind the car. Finally, I glued down my colorful explosion image as a firework & stamped "POW!" in the center with the Medieval Blue ink, coloring it in with a white gel pen & then adding white highlights and dot detail to my colored images and a faint flight trail for my firework. I also decided to stamp the BAM! & "Vrom...Vrom" sentiment in Versafine Clair Morning Mist ink.



I decided the card needed some bling, so I added a variety of stars from the Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blends Star Spangled mix, using Glossy Accents. You can't see it in the photo, but I also added a generous coating of Wink of Stella Clear glitter pen to the firework, car and launch tube. 



To bring the outside of my card inside, I cut another strip of the stars and stripes Bo Bunny patterned paper & adhered it to the bottom edge of the card. I added the second dinosaur and heart balloon, which I colored like an American Flag, to the bottom left corner & stamped my cobbled together sentiment (part from Dino Friends and part from Your Next Stamp Sprinkles: Sugar Rush stamp set) using Medieval Blue ink. A little Clear Wink of Stella on the balloon, and I called this card finished!
