I couldn't wait to make some cards using the "So Hoppy Together" cling stamp set. The new cling stamps are so marvelous!! Once they are mounted on the stamping block they stay there i.e. they won't fall off or slide while stamping. See the earlier post here where I posted a video made by Stampin' Up explaining all about the new cling stamps - putting the labels on, using, cleaning and storing them.
So, here's the first card:
These little frogs are so cute!
This one finds himself in a pond full of hippos waiting to snap him up! His friend the butterfly hovers over head. I love this little guy's attitude - it seems like he's saying that as long as he's on his "lily pad" the hippo's can't get him- thus the "hey"
After colouring the frog with Stampin' Blends (Granny Apple Green light and dark, with Pool Party eyes I used a 1 3/4" circle punch to punch him out, then matted him with a Starburst circle in Basic Gray.
The butterfly was coloured with Rich Razzelberry and Smokey Slate stampin blends, punched with a 1" circle punch and matted with 1 1/8" scallop circle of Basic Gray.
I also used punches to punch out that defiant "hey!"- a 3/4" matted with a 7/8" scallop.
These elements were arranged on some Animal Expedition DSP (annual catalogue) which was layered on a Whisper White layer. After these layers were adhered together, some 3/8" Basic Gray ribbon was added near the bottom and a bow added to the right of the main image piece.
The layers were then adhered to a Pool Party card base.
