Be Cool Llamas (SD818) comes as a single image...
For the first card, I created a background using the Dot Matrix stencil from Art Anthology and some Nuvo Embellishment Mousse (Persian Red) on some orange cardstock. While that dried, I stamped the black and white llamas several times on white cardstock using a grey ink and cut them out using my Brother Scan-N-Cut. I then stamped the "Cool" llama in purple, and then again in black and cut them out. From the black image, I carefully colored and cut the sunglasses and added some craft lacquer to the lens area and let it dry thoroughly.
Once everything was dry, I added embossed panel to the card base, and attached the neutral llamas. I curled their ears forward a bit to give them a little dimension. I added some decorative trim, then placed the colorful llama wearing his sporty sunglasses on the front with dimensional tape.
For the second card, I alternately stamped the black and white llamas around the edge of the card base. On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped and embossed the "cool" llama using Nuvo Embossing Powder in Blue Odyssey. Using alcohol markers, I colored in the sunglasses and lenses. I then die cut him out along with a matting panel and attached it to the card with dimensional tape.
These cool guys are so adorable. I can see using them on all kinds of cards and scrapbook layouts.
