Actions

Hello everyone.  It’s the third and final mini release for January at Whimsy Stamps (WS).  My card today features the new Actions stamp set containing words and phrases focused around “actions speak louder than words” theme.  Here’s my card.


The words and phrases were stamped in black on A2 size Bristol paper.  To omit certain words in the phrases, masking directly on the stamp was done before inking them.  For the background, ink blended light gray dye ink with a blender brush over a Brick Pattern stencil, then spattered with diluted black gouache paint.


The parentheses were created with the Victorian Layers die set from the last release.  Used scissors to trim the ends to a curved point.  The heart was a leftover die cut piece from another card I will be sharing soon.  It was coloured with Copic Sketch markers R35, R37, R39.  Assembled the card onto a white card base and added clear shimmer to the heart for a bit of sparkle to finish.


Here’s a glimpse of some inspirations from the creative team.

Always fun to see your creativity, Trina! I love how you laid out the sentiment using different stamps, and how you used the Victorian Layers die-cuts for the parentheses!
