Whimsy Stamps Forest Stream

Oh, hi! I've got a masculine card to share today. I know it appears like there's a whole lot of coloring going on, but this Forest Stream stamp by Whimsy was so easy to color! And I love all the detail on this stamp . . .which is what really made it so easy to color.

I started out by stamping the image using Memento Gray Flannel Ink onto Cougar Super Smooth Cardstock. By using the gray ink, it softened the lines a bit so I kind of got a no-line coloring look.

Next . . . yep. .. you guessed it. I colored the image with my Copics and then ran the panel through my Gemini, Jr. with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered that to a piece of black cardstock cut just a a little bit bigger.

Before adding it to the front of my card base, I decided to add a bit of texture by stamping the Tartan Plaid Background stamp using Kraft ink. I think the background stamp is just what I needed to make this card have a more masculine feel.

After I stamped that background and adhered my stamped and colored image to the front, I finished it up with a simple sentiment and added the smallest amount of shimmer on the stream with my Wink of Stella Glitter pen. Viola! All done!

I've also used this stamp for a few other cards, too . .
