"Pets Rule"
Stamp Artist - Pam Fraser
|
Supplies:
Stamps (See stamp credits below)
Clear Transparency/acetate sheet
Tan cardstock
Black cardstock
Dark Brown cardstock - folded into a card
Glue stick
Restickable glue stick
Double stick tape
Cardboard Tile Letters
Watercolor pencils
Dove Blender
Stipple Brush
Ancient Page Sandalwood dye ink
Brillance Coffee Bean pigment ink
Brillance Graphite Black pigment ink
Black Sharpie - fine line |
Steps:
1) To make this card you will
be using a masking technique and a variation on the grid technique.
2) Draw or copy puzzle pieces onto clear transparency sheet.
I Xeroxed mine. Coat one side with restickable glue
and when dry, cut the pieces apart.
3) On tan cardstock, assemble the puzzle pieces. Remove one section
at a time and stamp each pet scene in black ink. Be sure to go
around each puzzle piece with black Sharpie to form edges. Also,
before moving to next section, stipple light brown (Sandalwood)
on all edges and dark brown (Coffee Bean) along two sides only.
NOTE: I used the dark brown on the top and left sides each time.
Also, be sure to cover each finished section with its puzzle
piece so that it stays masked as you stamp the next section.
4) Color each scene with watercolor pencils, blending colors
with a Dove Blender.
5) Cut out completed puzzle and mount onto black cardstock. Then
mount both of these onto tan cardstock. I
used a glue stick for each of these mountings.
6) Finally, mount all of these layers onto the front of the dark
brown card with double stick tape.
7) On rectangles of the black cardstock, glue the cardboard letters
tiles. One for PETS and one for RULE. Mount on card front with
double stick tape.
8) Stamp paw prints along the right bottom inside panel of the
card.
NOTE: I got my inspiration and guide for the puzzle piece
shapes from "Kurki." You can see her gorgeous card

I stamped the Doghouse image onto the white cardstock using the
Really Rust inkpad and cut out the dog’s face with scissors.
I stamped the Doghouse image onto the Ballet Blue cardstock using

and cut it out with scissors. I stamped the grass/ground part
of the Doghouse image onto the Creamy Caramel cardstock using
the Chocolate Chip inkpad, colored the grass with a green watercolor
marker.
I cut some Going Grey cardstock with
scissors to fit behind the blue doghouse. I used double-stick
tape to attach the dog’s face to the grey paper. I attached
the grey paper behind the blue doghouse with mounting tape. I
used double-stick tape to attach the ground/grass to the front
of the doghouse.
I trimmed the blue marble cardstock
to 2.25" x 2 7/8" and the Brilliant Blue cardstock
to 2 5/8" x 3.25" with the Fiskars 12" paper trimmer.
I cut a piece of Re-Entry Red cardstock 5.5"x8.5" with
the Fiskars rotary paper cutter. I attached the doghouse to the
blue marble cardstock with mounting tape, trimmed the excess
brown ground paper. Then I mounted the blue marble cardstock
to the Brilliant Blue piece with double-stick tape and then to
the Re-Entry Red cardstock with double-stick tape.
I stamped the dog bone onto Natural
Astropache paper with a Chocolate Chip inkpad and cut out 8 bones
