Hello for Clearly Whimsy Stamps


Hi everyone!
My card today uses the ever popular ink smooshing technique.  I used my acrylic block this time and love the result.  After the watercolors dried I die cut using the large hello die and stamped some of the images from Thanks a million stamp set in the matching distress ink colors I used for my watercoloring.  I popped up the panel and attached the inside pieces of the letters to the base.  They were way too small to pop up with dimensionals.
I followed the sketch at Happy Little Stampers Sketch Challenge.

I also used the positive die cut on this card.


This card is similar to the one I did here.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Paper:  Black
Accessories: Hello word die (Clearly Whimsy), Homemade enamel dots

  6. Gorgeous colors! You have definitely mastered the 'smooshing' technique! Love the wee stamped sparkles that you added - nice touch!

    Waste not, want not....great way to use the positive die cut. I really, really am loving that honeycomb background stamp! There's a good chance that it will get added to 'the list'....just sayin'....

  21. Love both of these cards. Your inking is just gorgeous, and I like that you used the die cut bit. It was too pretty not to star on it's own card.
