happy world cardmaking day everyone! lucky for me i made these cards this past week so have something to celebrate with today.how special that we have an entire day to celebrate making cards for friends and family. so to celebrate here are my Boofle cards made for The Wholesaler to celebrate them importing the beautiful range of DoCrafts papers, stamps and other crafting goodies. I have fallen in love with this Boofle guy - he is just so cute. I used a single stamp with three different techniques to achieve three different looks. 

 first up....shadow stamping.

i love how the Mr Cool set has a shadow stamp included and so i used a Brilliance Pearlescent ink for my shadow giving it a beautiful shimmer. the outline was overstamped in black ink.

to add some texture to his nose i used dimensional glaze and microbeads - just love the look.

second .... i used masking to get my background effect. a really really old technique but still a favourite.

i combined a script Prima stamp with some inks to achieve the look behind Boofle.

third...simply stamped and then coloured in using a combination of 2 colours of Artiste Brush Markers. love how versatile those markers are.

and once again i re-stamped the image onto old book paper and cut out the nose portion and adhered it to the colored image for some dimension.

i hope you had a wonderful day making cards or just being creative! until next time, thanks for popping in  and leaving some love - always appreciate your visit. Blessings!
