Otterly Adorable Selfie

Hello there.  It’s new release day at Whimsy Stamps!  My card today features the new Otter Variety 2 clear stamp set.  These little guys are absolutely adorable, so there may or may not be more cards with them on the way… just saying. 😂*lol*


I knew I wanted to get all of them onto one card, so started by stamping each image onto masking paper and fussy cutting them out to create their masks.  Stamping was done with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly cardstock.  Going from front to back, stamped and masked the images to create this fun selfie.  Removed the masks and coloured with various brown E Copic Sketch markers.  Trimmed the panel down to slightly smaller than the size of new-to-me (NBUS) Selfie phone.  The phone was die cut twice from glossy black paper and stacked for dimension.  Backed the opening with acetate then adhered the otter piece behind.


The Chippy Paint Background rubber stamp from the last release was stamped on light pink cardstock with the matching pink dye ink for a subtle tone-on-tone look.  The Bold ABC letters were die cut from white and black cardstock.  Ombré coloured the white ones with the pink ink, then added clear shimmer to them for some sparkle.  Offset them for a drop shadow and assembled onto a white card base to finish.


Here’s a collage of the inspiration projects from the design team using the new products,.
