Hello, Whimsy fans! Are you ready for the funnest blog event of the year?!
It's the one we at Whimsy wait all year for, and we hope you're just as excited as we are! So, sit back and get ready to be inspired (and maybe a little frightened, too).
It's Andrea with you tonight, and I have a cheeky, interactive card to share. It features the just-released Monster ATC Closeups stamp set. When I saw the fun mummy in the set, I couldn't resist having a play on words (I love puns). I'm hoping my British friends get a chuckle at least.
For this card I first stamped the mummy image and colored him with Copics. I set him aside to work on the interactive portion of my card.
I first stamped the Farmhouse Shiplap Background onto kraft cardstock. Using the partial diecutting technique, I cut a door into the panel with the Slimline ATC Windows Dies. I scored between the cut areas to create a hinge for the door to open and close.
I distressed the edges of the panel with the same brown ink I used to stamp the background. Next, I embellished the panel with images from the Fuzzy Spiders set. I first stamped the webs in white pigment ink and then stamped the spiders and sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I used a white gel pen to fill in the spiders' eyes.
My sentiment largely comes from the Cute But Psycho stamp set. I masked the bottom of the sentiment and stamped the top half with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then stamped "mummy" with the Alphabet Mini stamp set. Next, I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Cute But Psycho, masking the top portion first.
Finally, I adhered the kraft panel to my colored image and attached it to a cardbase.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my interactive, cheeky card.
