Hi there!
We're onto day 3 of this month's Neat and Tangled new release reveals. Today is our showcase of Later Alligator, a 4x6 stamp set that I illustrated. I've seen other croc/alligator sets out there, but this one might be a little quirkier, with the fish balloon and the YASSS banner and the little stuffed animal frog. hee.
I stamped, colored and die-cut the images that I wanted for my card. I love the one at the top, holding his hat and suitcase! His friend at the bottom is waving him goodbye.
Once I figured out my layout, I grabbed a card-front-sized piece of white cardstock and did some soft ink blending with distress inks. I flicked droplets of water on top of the sponged ink for that soft, dreamy look.
As soon as the paper was dry, I stamped out the greeting (using my MISTI tool for perfect placement!) and then popped up the croc and alligator using foam tape.
I love the little bird peering at the sentiment, and the little snail crawling across the his sentiment too.
I hope you like what I've created! There's more to see on the NT blog this morning - click!
Before you go, don't forget to leave me a comment! You'll be in the running for a $25 store gift card, chosen from among the design team blog posts at the end of the week.
