All Creatures Great and Small
Good morning folks. I’m so excited to finally have some stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs. Biting the bullet, I went off my “no-buying new stamps” promise and ordered myself several sets. I think the last time I bought a new stamp was way back in September. Noah’s Ark is a new set that I just had to have. This week’s challenge is to create texture, so I’m entering it into Our Daily Bread Designs post.
I paired this stamp set with the easel card that everyone is doing these days. The best directions I could find for you can be found on the Whiff of Joy Inspirations blog.
Because I didn’t want designer paper on my card, I turned to the Technique Junkie Newsletter to find a technique that would work for my purpose, and I found it in the June 1997 issue and is called Cling and Scrunch. I picked this one because it looked so much like water. The TJ newsletter came through again 
Each animal was coloured and layered so they would pop out of the ark. Blue clouds were created by smudging a handmade template as seen in my Glitter Embossing tutorial. White clouds were made from Odd Bird Planet stamps.
Thank you for stopping by.
