If a Man Speaks... with video

  Hello Junkies!

I love to make cards that make people laugh.  I'm always on the lookout for silly stamps.  Technique Junkies has a bunch of them.  This one was part of the May release.  

I wanted to create a forest.  All the stamps I had didn't leave a big enough opening for sentiment.  I decided to create my own forest.   I made a video showing you how EASY this is to do.  Click here to check it out.  I plan on making a whole series of silly cards....if you like to laugh be sure to subscribe to my channel.

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!
