Do The Impossible Archives - My Elegant Cards

This card using the Do the impossible stamp set is close to my heart. I’m a runner, sort of. I’m slow and I am massively talented at spraining an ankle (I can fall over acorns!) but I haven’t run all month because I was sick. But it’s almost time to gird my loins and my courage and venture out again. I have a hatred of treadmills, even if they are acorn free.

So I stamped the background trees using the Mountain Air stamp set and garden green. The runners were stamped using sahara sand stamped off once and then coloured using watercolour pencils and a blender pen. It’s so relaxing colouring away. I had to put some pink on the girl because my brother’s computer is by the window and he’s been telling me that all the fast female runners are wearing neon pink. My girl isn’t wearing neon pink but it’s the closest I have. I suspect that’s why my apple watch, that he helped my father select, has a pomegranate strap!

I used night of navy for the sentiment, cut out with my much used stitched shapes dies and popped it up with dimensionals. The card base is garden green with a layer of night of navy.

I have a friend on Strava and he’s a cyclist. So for his birthday, Do The Impossible seems perfect! I decided to go with silver embossing on blueberry bushel.

This led to using more silver in the form of a silver foil border which I then decided should be embossed. I flicked through my ring holding all my embossing folder samples and decided on hammered metal. It looks great using foil. The sentiment is from the same Do The Impossible stamp set (151660, $20) which also has a swimmer and a couple of runners. Very useful if you have active friends!
