Phamtastic Design: Whimsy Stamps

Hello there. Today is my nephew, Liam's, 11th birthday. Hard to believe it's been 6 years since this video. So in keeping with the same vibe as the card in that video, I decided to stretch the Sheets and Giggles stamp set from Whimsy Stamps (WS) beyond halloween and created him a punny slimline (SL) size (3.5"x8.5") birthday card. This was fun and I'm glad he liked it. He actually recorded another video of him opening today's card, but for some unknown reason, I'm no longer able to upload videos to my blog. 🤔

Black cardstock was trimmed to SL size. The SL Film Strip die and the Spellbinders compact cutting plate were then used to partial die cut the film strip frame to SL size from its original 3.25"x8.25".

Trimmed a SL panel from Bristol paper next and masked off the two sides with painter's tape. Place the film strip frame over the panel to use as a guide and stamp the ghost images with Memento London Fog ink. Went back and inked up their eyes with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker and re-stamped. Ink blended Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Black Soot distress inks around them then splattered with water and blot with a paper towel for some texture.

Green glow shading was added to the ghosts with YG01 Copic Sketch marker. Stamped the sentiments with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Assemble the card onto a SL card base to finish.
