What the Froth?

I'm headed to Junkie Fest this week, and I have SO much to do between now and then that I feel like the earth is barely holding together. Or that it's only held together with coffee.

You guys got a peek of this card in my last video, but it's too cute to leave off the blog in a starring role.

I used the UNstructured print from the video for a background. I cut a circle out of it with the Circle Infinity Dies, and then glued it onto the cardbase. I stamped the crazy little chihuahua from What the Froth into the opening.

Then I embossed the sentiment from the same set - cracks me up - and embossed it with white embossing powder.

See the little dendritic patterns in the squares? That's from printing with Golden Open acrylic - so each print was actually wet when I printed additional layers. It's called "open" because it stays wet and workable longer than traditional acrylic. I really like it for gel printing.

So send coffee if you get a chance - I'm going to need it!

Loveyameanitbye.

  3. I love that nervous little dog but, I am confused! Mine is called Enervy (perfect name) and was sold through Katzelkraft. Whaaaat? How does that work? I am certain it is the same artist as all of the animals are the same style as other Katzelkraft stamps that I have purchased!

    1. Lots of companies purchase their artwork from the same companies. I believe Katzelkraft and Tim Holtz both purchased the "crazy birds" art from the same illustrator. Not everyone grants exclusive rights to their artwork, if that makes sense.
