Llama card

Happy Tuesday everyone,

Today I am showing you the first card I made with the No Probllama set of stamps by Honey Bee.  This set of stamps includes 19 stamps that can be used together or can be used as standalone items.  I have made a few different cards using this set of stamps so keep watching to see what I come up with next.  This is one of my more sensible ones.
These stamps can be bought from The Little Paper Tree Shop along with many more stamps that have been shipped over from America.
I have used Distress inks and Distress Oxide inks to colour the picture - these inks are also available from the shop #thelittlepapertreeshop.

Here is what you need:

White stamping card
Honey Bee stamp set No Probllama
Versafine Black Onyx stamp pad
Masking paper
Distress Oxides to paint Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint and Twisted Citron
Distress inks - Mermaid Lagoon and Soot Black
White Gel pen
Black card
7x7" card blank
Glue or double sided tape

This is how I made it:

1. Stamp the Llama on a piece of 5x5" stamping card using the black onyx Versafine pad.
2. Stamp and cut out a mask of the Llama or use drawing gum to mask.
3. Stamp the image of the cactus on top of the end of the Llama and another one slightly higher up.
4. Using a strip of torn paper as a mask, blend some distress black ink off the mask and onto the card to give the Llama something to stand on.
5. Stamp the Llama sentiment above the cactus.
6. Using the Twisted Citron and Peeled paint, paint the cacti and the llama is painted by using the Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo Distress Oxides.
7. I then used the Mermaid Lagoon to paint the sky, the Peeled Paint for the distant trees and the Fossilized Amber for the sand. Once dried, I used a white gel pen to highlight areas of the picture.
8. I mounted the topper onto white and black card before adhering it to the 7x7" card blank.

That's it, all done.  Now its time to tidy up 😒
