Animal Outing with Swirly Frames

Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  I’m Sara Levin the artful inker.  I’ve just come back from a few days at my mom’s.  I love to visit and I always create ahead so that I have plenty of things to share with you while I’m gone.  But, that can affect my creativity when I return.  Do you ever have a slump in your MOJO?  Here’s what I did this morning that may help you.  I pulled out a stamp set with the plan to create a really simple card.  The reason I go for simple is that I find just the act of creating…makes me more creative!  For today’s card, I used Animal Outing with Swirly Frames.  They are two of the new stamp sets in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  You can request a catalog HERE

 

Animal Outing with Swirly Frames

 

 

So, here’s my clean and simple card.

For the base, I used Thick Whisper White.

Then, I matted my Whisper White focal layer with a piece of Bermuda Bay.

The Bermuda Bay layer is just large enough to leave a narrow band of color.

 

 

The Animal Outing stamp set (146600) is perfect for coloring.

But, I wasn’t feeling it this morning.

So, I used my Stamparatus.

First, I colored the bird with my Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker and stamped.

After cleaning the bird, I masked it off.

Then, I inked the rhino in Basic Gray and stamped on the Whisper White.

Next, I inked up the rhino again and stamped on Smoky Slate.

He was easy to fussy cut!

I didn’t worry about the ground/shadow or his tail

since they were on the Whisper White layer.

 

 

I love the slightly punny sentiment.

You know — rhinos are big….

After stamping the sentiment from Animal Outing in Bermuda Bay,

I used one of the Swirly Frames (146519) in Pool Party.

To finish the outside, I colored some of the White Perfect Accents (retiring)

with my Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends.

 

 

To finish the inside, I used my Stamparatus again.

It was super easy to ink the bird with my marker and get perfect placement!
