The skunk is from Skunks stamp set by C.C. Designs. He was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly cardstock, coloured with Copic Sketch markers and Polychromos pencils, then die cut out with the coordinating die. The letters were die cut next with Reverse Confetti Letter Cuts dies from gold foil paper and black cardstock to offset for a drop shadow.
A mini slimline panel was then die cut from mixed media paper using Mini Slimline die by Spellbinders. Ran it through the diecutting machine with the Slim Pinpoint Burst Plate from Memory Box then ink blended gray and black dye inks around the edges, leaving the middle white to give it a glow effect. The cap (retired) was die cut from gold foil paper and black cardstock as well. Heat embossed the sentiments (retired) on black cardstock with white embossing powder, then trimmed into strips before assembling the card onto a split black/white mini slimline card base measuring 3.25”x 6.25” to finish.
