Good morning all, I hope you had a good weekend, and are having a good week so far. Today's card was my first attempt at over-stamping an image with a sentiment, after falling in love with This Card, on Pinterest. Although it didn't end up quite how I planned it, it was all good in the end, lol.
I started by stamping the Polar Bear's sweater with black Memento Ink, and then masked the sweater with full stick post-it notes, while I stamped the Polar Bear into his sweater. Both stamps are from Creative Stamping Magazine, Issue 50 stamp set, called Winter Warmers.
Once I had my bear I then found a sentiment that was large enough to go over him, and decided on this simple greeting from the Clearly Besotted, Laugh Out Loud, Christmas Collection.
I masked my bear again, and then stamped the greeting over him using Teal Zeal and Paris Dusk Memento inks. I used the Misti stamping tool, to help me get the spacing right.
This was all looking really good, until I dropped the ink pad on my panel, right near his head 🙅 !!! To say I wasn't happy was an understatement lol.
But I managed to save the card by cutting around the top of my bear, and then adding him to a teal card base, where I added a snowy backdrop, using a Lawn Fawn stamp from the Snow Cool set. Then I finished it off with a few iridescent snowflakes from Studio Katia.
Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
