Pootlers Blog Hop: My Family Portrait

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today which is taking part in the Pootlers Blog Hop. If you are new to my blog then I welcome you and hop that you will enjoy the visit and come back :-)

The theme of the blog hop is the new Spring Summer Catalogue. I have chosen to do a project using the Stamp Set Family & Friends. When I saw this set in the catalogue at on stage I immediately had an image of this project.

I really enjoyed creating this family portrait and was a paper labour of love, my partner has taken one of them to work for his office :-)

Measurements and Materials

Frame

• 12" x 12" piece of Designer series paper 
• Score on all 4 sides @ 3/8" - 3/4" - 1 1/8" - 1 1/2"
• Score on 2 opposite sides @ 1 7/8" & 10 1/8"
• These form the cut lines

Creating your family portrait

• Using the Family & Friends stamp set it is easy to create a family
• The stamps are photopolymer so it is easy to line them up
• There are lots of different hairstyles and clothes to chose from with extra features like pets

Colouring in

• I have so far made 3 portraits and each I used a different medium to colour them in
• Water colour pencils
• Stampin' Write markers with a blender pen
• Blends alcohol markers

Video Tutorial

If you come back tomorrow I will have a video tutorial of how I made this project. I do hope you will come back :-)
