From All of Us

Hi everyone, the super cute critters from the From All of Us stamp set are making another appearance today.  They are so adorable.  I am so enjoying colouring the image with my Stampin’ Blends but, of course, you could use your preferred colouring medium.  If you are unsure what colours to use I recently shared my colour combos on the Stampers Workshop Facebook page.

What’s different about today’s card is that I created more of a scene rather than just having them on their own.  The stamp set comes with two trees, or they could be used just as branches, and I thought it would be fun to have these showing in the background.  You will need to do some masking to achieve this look.  Stamp the critters first and then on a post-it note (I like the ones which have adhesive all over the background rather than just the top).  Cut out the post-it note.  My tip for this is to cut towards the inside edge of the stamped line so that you don’t end up with a halo effect (and if you take a look near the face of the ostrich you can see what I mean). If you do end up with a halo you can, of course, just leave it or you can use your Stampin’ Write Markers to fill in the gaps. Position the post-it note over your original stamped image and then you are ready for the next step.  Stamp the trees in place.  Remove the post-it notes and voila there’s your scene!  Looks great, doesn’t it?!

I also used Versamark to stamp the trees repeatedly over my card base.  I love this subtle look.

Here’s my card…

Oh, these critters are just the cutest!  I hope you will enjoy crafting with the From All of Us stamp set as much as I do.  I also hope you’ll give masking a go.  It’s so easy!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!
