Look closely at the lion's face and head... the face itself is stamped with "Antique Linen" Distress Oxide Ink and blended with a water pen. Then, a "Vintage Photo" Distress Oxide Ink is stamped on top and blended with a water pen.

Finally, Jet Black Archival Ink is stamped on the FACE ONLY. It's easy to ink the whole stamp and then just wipe off ink around the outside of the stamp.

Cardmaking Tutorial | Stamping Leopard Print

 

Leopard print goes with everything!

This is the leopard-print stamp you have been waiting for! Learn to used your Distress Oxide inks to EASILY color this stamp from Technique Junkies! 

Follow along with me in my step-by-step video tutorial for making this fun and glamorous card!

I actually combined the "Leopard Set of 6" stamp set with the "More Fabulous" stamp set. The lady on the "More Fabulous" stamp was just perfect to embellish the leopard print and the sentiment! 

I just happened to have an animal-print embossing folder in my stash! 

See the slightly raised leopard-print pattern? So cool...

I had to use a mask to achieve the leopard print skirt and hat for the lady. I just used a scrap piece of vinyl to create the mask. Once I stamped the basic image, I pulled the mask off of the skirt and hat and put the "outline" mask over her. Then, I could easily color in the skirt and hat with oxide inks. Feel free to check out the video tutorial to see how this is done! 

I stamped and embossed the sentiment on a piece of vellum and attached the vellum over the card panel with brads. After fussy-cutting the lady, I attached her to the vellum using Zots Mini Dots.

I love how this card turned out!
