X-Ray Dinosaurs

Sorry for missing you all week. Unlike some, I do not love the hotter and humid weather as it brings on migraines! I've been a mess this week, but thankfully some rain last night brought some relief today.

I'm showcasing the No Bones About It stamp set again (since I haven't felt up to playing with new holiday products). I spotted a few x-ray designs on Pinterest featuring one dino and a square highlight of its bones. I thought it would be fun to change up the shape and feature three different dinosaurs. Check it out:

I used my 1" Circle Punch to punch out my x-ray image that I stamped in Craft White Ink on Basic Black card stock. I popped those up on top of the dinosaur images I stamped on some Whisper White in Delightful Dijon, Cucumber Crush and Bermuda Bay. I layered that piece on a Thick Whisper White card base.

On the inside, I stamped a few leaves in Cucumber Crush because you know me, I can't leave the inside of a card blank. :)

Until next time, stay crafty!

No Bones About It

Sorry I missed ya on Monday. I hope you missed me too! I was spending the day with family at the CNE - Canadian National Exhibition. We go every year and have a blast! The next few posts are going to feature the No Bones About It stamp set. If you don't have this one yet, you should! It's so much fun!

I started by crumpling up a piece of Very Vanilla piece of card stock. If you didn't know, Stampin' Up! card stock becomes very pliable when distressed. So much so that you can easily pull apart the layers to create all sorts of awesome effects! So, I crumpled until I could get two pieces from one and then I sponged it in Crumb Cake to get a real distressed and 'old' looking piece.

The Crumb Cake layer on top was created by stamping the images first in the same colour and then slightly offsetting the image and stamping again in White Craft Ink. I then lightly sponge around the images in Crumb Cake again. Don't they look like fossils?!

I added some more interest with Cotton Paper that I cut with Fringe Scissors and some Thick Baker's Twine. The sentiment was punched with the Decorative Label Punch and then I trimmed off the top and bottom to get this unique shape.

On the inside, I stamped a little more, again using stamps from the same set.

Until next time, stay crafty!
