Don't you just love these new
Humphrey stamps? They are so much fun. Today I am using the "Girl Talk" set from this line.
Because
of the image size, especially after I added the greeting, I decided to
do a 5.5 inch square card, which I don't do too often. But it worked
out great for this image.
I
colored the image with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers (of course!)
and then layered it on black. Note the grey shading around the whole
image. I have been using color IG1 for shading and like the results.
Here are the rest of the marker colors I used. The markers that you
can't see the labels for are IG1 and IG2, and the blender.
The
matted image was layered on a mix of designer papers from my stash --
polka dot yellow and gingham red - to pick up the colors in the
dresses. I love the cheery look that the bright primary colors give.
This was layered on black for cohesiveness. I added a white ribbon and a
narrower blue polka dot ribbon. Then it was mounted on a white card
base.
The
final touch was to add two glittery red hearts in the upper right. I
started with red card stock, and covered the whole surface with
Versamark ink. I then used tinsel red embossing powder and my heat
gun. Once I had a shiny, glittery sheet, I punched two hearts and
popped one up with a dimensional. By going over the edge of the black
mat, you visually tie the different elements of the card together.
