Creating a Guy Card Using Stampin'Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set
August 22, 2023
Today we're Creating a Guy Card Using Stampin'Up! Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set. This is my son's birthday month so I'm always thinking about guy cards in August. Since I'm a 'girly' kind of stamper I am always into embellishments and a bit frilly. But that just won't work for guys like my son. I riffled through my stamp sets and grabbed the Wildlife Wonder set...it's perfect for guys!
Here's the card for today...
And a bit closer look...
Aiming for quick and classic...which to me meant not a lot of coloring but still a couple of interest points.
Earthen Textures designer paper was perfect for this wildlife--this design was done in Pebble Path--one of the new In colors. So the card base color was automatically selected.
The wolf image is so detailed that no coloring was needed...it was perfect in Pebble Path ink....as is the greeting.
Not wanting the wild plant to over power or have the same "weight" as the focal image so I still used Pebble Path ink but stamped off before stamping on the card. (Stamping off - inking the stamp, stamping on scrap paper, then stamping the image on the real paper).
The final top off is the addition of the Pebble Path dots which adds a bit of shine but still doesn't overpower the focal images.
I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.
Stop by Thursday to see what we're creating with this cute set.
