CAS(E) This Sketch #86 by Sam Simpson:
I wanted to work with this week's sketch and I got the idea to rotate it &
give my card front the feel of an envelope & make Rocky into a postage stamp.
With him holding that sweet envelope, he seems very well suited for this position! ;)
I wanted to work with this week's sketch and I got the idea to rotate it &
give my card front the feel of an envelope & make Rocky into a postage stamp.
With him holding that sweet envelope, he seems very well suited for this position! ;)
I started by diecutting the rectangle die from Class Act Confetti Cuts
from aqua mist card stock and then diecutting it again to give it more of a square shape.
I stamped Rocky Raccoon & then paper-pieced him with soft stone, pure poppy & white card stock.
For his bandana, I used a stamp from So Stripey in pure poppy & aqua mist.
For the "stamp-like edges", I trimmed a piece of white card stock into a square and then
used the notebook edge die from Office Edges Confetti Cuts to make the circle indents.
The top edge was also stamped using So Stripey.
I stamped the sentiments from So Very Special and then adhered my panel using dimensional adhesive.
Next step on the hop is Cindy Lawrence.
