Walk This Way Card

 Greetings! You've got Kathi here today to share a project with you. "Anything Goes" is our theme this week. I took my inspiration from two of the kooky birds and the "Walk this way" sentiment from the Kate Crane 009 Rubber Cling Rubber Stamp Set by PaperArtsy, which made think of the song by Run DMC/Aerosmith and the Ministry of Silly Walks Skit by Monty Python.

Here's my slimline card.

Use magnets to secure a 9" x 4" panel of white cardstock to the base of a large stamping platform. Place the crowned walking bird stamp from the Kate Crane 009 Rubber Cling Rubber Stamp Set by PaperArtsy facedown on the platform so that his outstretched foot is at the 8.5" mark on the platform and his other foot is about .5" from the base of the platform. Ink the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp. 

Keeping the cardstock flush against the base of the platform, slide the cardstock panel ~2.125" to the right and secure the panel in place with magnets. Ink the stamp again with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp. 

Repeat the steps above to stamp the bird a third time. Remove the panel from the stamping platform.

Stamp the bird another three times onto repositionable sticker paper, fussy-cut the birds, and set them aside.

Color the three birds with Copic markers. Use light Copic markers to add outlines around the images. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to the birds' eyes.

Place the fussy-cut repositionable sticker paper birds atop their counterparts as masks. Add a piece of repositionable tape across the bottom of the image panel. 

Sponge or brush light blue dye ink over the masked images and tape to add a background color to the image panel. 

Move the repositionable tape so that its bottom edge is on the blue line and the tape is covering the bottom part of the image panel. 

Sponge or brush grey dye ink over the masked images to ground the image.

"Do as I write, not as I did" and keep the masks over the images. Using the same light blue dye ink, randomly stamp notes from the Music Notes Small Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps onto the image panel. 

Lift the masks and trim the image panel to 8.25" x 3.25". Use the light blue ink to edge the panel.

Pounce an anti-static pouch onto black cardstock. Use embossing ink to stamp the "walk this way" sentiment two times onto black cardstock. Add white detail embossing powder, dump the excess back into the container, and heat set the sentiments. Use small rectangle or flag dies to cut the sentiment.

Adhere the image panel to a slimline black card. Add the sentiment die-cuts to finish the card.
