ANT - Inky Stamper


https://inkystamperstore.com/ant/
I want to thank Chelsea for asking me to be a guest designer.  I really had a great time with cute ant set. Her stamps, stamp out sharp, her die is close cut, which I prefer.

Used Momento ink to stamp out the ant and sentiment.

Used Whimsy die for the grass-

Clouds-  https://blueknightrubberstamps.com/cloud-stencil/
Salty Ocean distressed oxides

Copics used for the Ant.
C02, C03, C04, C06

I popped up the front part of the ant, and glued the backside of the ant.

This card seems to be fitting for todays times.

I really enjoyed creating a blanket.  I used black momento for the Ant, sentiment,  boombox,  the squares and the and of course the little ants. Also used versamark for the red squares.

Copics
BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29

I cut the ends to give the blanket a fringe app.
Embossed the boombox and popped it up.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.

Mona - This was for Lala land Crafts swap


I just participated in a swap for LaLaLand Crafts. If you have never used Irina's stamps before. You're in for a treat,  these are nice and crisp images. I chose Mona, mainly bc I get teased on both sides of the family bc I love having pictures from any adventure.

I decided to diecut 6 cameras to stack and glue to make a shaker card. This did the trick. Bc no matter how much I use my embossing buddy I always end up with the sequins stuck. Yes Mona is on crooked 🤫 I didn't realize it until the glue had already dried.
