Hi, crafty friends! There’s a new release coming next week from Rachelle Anne Miller which has me super excited. It has a theme I love and a type of critter I simply can’t resist – a little tease for you there. Today’s card, however, is created using an oldie, but goodie stamp. This is the Animal Parade, and I know I keep saying so many of Rachelle’s images are among my favorites, but they really are, and this is another one. I’ve used this image once before on this card. This time I cut the image apart and used the critters individually to create postage stamps on my card.
I colored the images with Copics, then used the Postage Collage die from Waffle Flower to create stamps.
I added Solar Paste in the Golden Hour color onto Lemon Tart cardstock from Papertrey Ink using the Merry Go Round stencil from Memory Box. I wanted a little bit of interest in the background, but nothing too distracting, and this worked really well. I added the panel to a top fold white card base I created from Stamper’s Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink.
I added scraps of cardstock behind my die cuts to give them a little lift off my card and adhered them pretty much in the center of the card.
I stamped a sentiment from the Anything-but Basic Birthday Wishes stamp set from My Favorite Things onto Spring Rain cardstock from Papertrey Ink using Obsidian ink from Altenew. I cut the sentiment down to a strip and added a few layers of cardstock behind it before adhering it to the card.
I finished off with a few sequins from the White Orchid Sequin mix from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards.
Fairly muted color palette for this one.
