I saw this stamp from Art Impressions Girlfriends collection called Laughing. I knew it would make a great card for one of my sisters (not that it wouldn’t fit all three of them!). Whenever we get together, we spend a lot of time laughing…and the older we get, well, you know…
Here is what I came up with…
I colored the image with my Copic markers. I used a new stencil I got from Hero Arts and used some Pistachio Pudding ink from Stamp Up to put the image on some paper I had. I used a die from Stampin Up to cut the image out. For the “puddle of tears”, I used some Crystal Effects and added some blue re-inker to add some color. I let them dry, and then added them to the image. I used the sentiment from the set for the greeting at the bottom.
Another look…
A close up of the image. . .
On the inside, I used the “hello” die from Memory Box and cut it out using three different colored papers. I thought this was just enough on the inside.
A peek inside…
You can find a list of my supplies is at the bottom of my post.
And one final look…
