It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. Our theme this week is "Anything Goes". I'm so happy that Spring is finally beginning to show her colors that I've created a card to celebrate its arrival with Katzelkraft's Meerkats, Funny Accessories, and Water Wall Unmounted Red Rubber Stamps.
Here it is!
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the dancing meerkat from the Meerkats Unmounted Red Rubber Unmounted Stamp Set by Katzelkraft twice — once onto a piece of Bristol Paper and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Heat set the Bristol Paper version.
Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.
Position the umbrella stamp from the Funny Accessories Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set by Katzelkraft facedown on the image panel so that its handle is on the Meerkat's hand and the umbrella is over his head. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the umbrella twice— once onto a piece of Bristol Paper and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Heat set the Bristol paper version.
Use Copic markers to color the Meerkat and his umbrella. Use a black pen to increase the size of his pupils. Use a white gel pen to add catchlights to his pupils.
Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of the umbrella and place it over its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.
Use the second largest die from the Crea-Nest-Lies XXL Double Stitched Rectangle Die Set by CREAlies to cut the image panel.
Place the image panel die-cut onto a magnetic craft mat. Position one of the hills masks from the Mini Hills Acrylic Mask/Stencils by Lavinia Stamps so that it's covering the Meerkat's feet and part of his tail. Secure the mask in place with magnets and/or low-tack tape.
Brush two colors of grey/blue Distress Ink over the the Mini Hills Acrylic Mask and the masked images onto the image panel die-cut to add a gloomy sky. Use a water-filled Fine Spray Misters by Spectrum Noir to mist the image panel to add white splats and splatter. Heat set the image panel die-cut.
Trace the Mini Hills Acrylic Mask onto a piece of scrap cardstock. Cut the cardstock along the tracing line to create two temporary masks. Place the top section of the cardstock mask over the sky and the masked Meerkat. Brush two colors of green Distress ink over the paper stencil onto the imamge panel die-cut to create a grassy hill background. Tear a piece of scrap cardstock. Brush the darker green over the torn edge of the cardstock to add shading and shadows below the Meerkat. Retain the two pieces of the traced Mini Hills Acrylic Mask for another use.
Position the image panel die-cut onto the base of a stamping platform. Position the Water Wall Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp by Katzelkraft facedown along the right side of the image panel die-cut. Use Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Water Wall Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp. Remove the image panel die-cut and use Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink to edge it. Heat set image panel die-cut.
Use a Clear Gloss Glaze gel pen to highlight the grey-stamped waterdrops, the white spots created when the panel was misted, and areas of the grassy hill.
Adhere the image panel die-cut to a black A6 card. Add sentiment stickers to finish the card.
