You Make My Life Magical - Crazy 4 Challenges #476

Hello and welcome to another Crazy 4 Challenges! This week the challenge is all about Harry Potter. Well, I don't know much about Harry so I was more than a little puzzled about what to do. So, as always, I did a little research and found that BB Cute Chemist Stamp Set and Die-namics would work just fine for this.

I started by stamping the image with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut it out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored it with Copic markers. I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to his glasses, the beakers, and his shoes and set it aside. For my background, I sponged, top to bottom, Blueberry and Blue Yonder dye inks on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper and then stenciled Sweet Tooth pigment ink through Ray of Light Stencil over the ink. It's hard to see in this photo but it's there! Next I added Stitched Valley Die-namics cut from Gravel Gray card stock and Stitched Snowdrifts Die-namics--minus the stitching--cut from Steel Gray card stock with a heat embossed sentiment from BB Magical Dragons Stamp Set. Foam tape was used for dimension to adhere these elements.

Next I created a couple of Castle Die-namics towers, distressed them up with Gravel Gray dye ink, also popped up on foam tape. Then I popped little Harry up on foam tape and finished off with a moon and stars in the sky. The moon was cut from Lemon Chiffon card stock with Circle STAX Set 2 Die-namics and the stars were cut from Silver Sparkle card stock with Tag Builder Blueprints 6
