A PICTURE PERFECT PLATYPUS

Hi there and welcome!  This week I’m going to “case” (copy and share everything) a few of the beautiful cards that you can find in the Annual Catalogue.  This is great if you are stuck for ideas and I’m starting off with this picture perfect platypus from the Postcard Pals stamp set.

You can find this cutie-pie on page 48 of the catalogue and you will notice that my version isn’t exactly as show but close.  This guy is coloured with our Stampin’ Blends combos with are perfect for adding shading in all the right places.  Because these blends are alcohol based make sure to stamp the image first with our classic inks(water based) so your outline doesn’t smear.

You will notice that I used the Whisper White Classic Weave ribbon – in order to get the Pool Party colour, I used the Stampin’ Blend to add colour.

Here’s the full list of products that I used.
