A birthday like no other

A few challenges pushed me to come out of my creative lethargy and I made this humoristic card (it will hopefully elicit a chuckle if not an out and out laugh!)

CAS card with stamped otter

I first stamped the otter in black and masked it. The grasses were stamped on top with green dye inks and I applied some Distress inks behind the animal. Both stamps are from a set issued with issue 57 of Creative Stamping (May 2018). as is the sentiment.

The otter was coloured with pencils.

Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Addicted to stamps, SSS Wednesday, Casology, Penny Black and more challenges.

  1. What a super Otter Christine and it really stand out well on the CAS design. Thanks for your comment yesterday, I've used Fabriano HP and Bristol Vellum for years, not the cheapest but one of the best which allow movement of colour really well, it's just the artist that's the problem!

  4. Your card made me smile. I'm sorry I missed that issue of Creative Stamping because I would have loved those stamps....especially the sentiment. :) I love how you colored the image.

  8. Great masking to allow that delightful otter to really pop. The only weasel family member better than an otter is a sea otter, so you'd already won me over before I even got to the laugh-out-loud words!
