Hello crafty friends! Today I'm showing you a card I made with an adorable image from QKR Stampede. I stamped this cute little guy onto white card stock and colored him with watercolor pencils, then did a bit of fussy cutting around him.
I used a heart shaped doily and adhered it to the card with tape runner, then cut the extra away. I stamped "You're Huggable" onto the doily, this is another QKR Stampede image. I then used foam tape to add the image to the card. I used a white gel pen for the dots and dashes around the edge of the card.
Here is a close up picture of this cute little guy's belly and ears. It looks like Flower Soft doesn't it? Well, it isn't. I simply took a styrofoam ball, cut it in half and rubbed the 2 halves together. This causes it to crumble and it looks a lot like Flower Soft. Easy peasy!
I used glue on his belly and ears and then covered it with the crumbles, worked great and at a fraction of the cost of Flower Soft. I haven't tried coloring it yet, but I have heard that a couple drops of ink, some ink spray or even food coloring works well.
Thanks for stopping by the QKR Stampede blog today, I hope you have been inspired. Be sure to check out the QKR Stampede Store to see all the wonderful image they offer, both in rubber stamps and digital.
