While perusing the goodies at HM Ben Franklin Crafts, I spied a set of Dandelion Designs Boy's Day stamps and a 6x6 Forever in Time Perfect Prints paper pad. I thought that paired together they would make a unique Boy's Day card. The cute little boys were stamped (with waterproof black ink) onto white card stock, colored with Copic pens, and fussy cut out. (The Dandelion images on the front of the stamp package are smaller than the actual stamp images so they aren't difficult to color. Also it is easier to stamp the entire rubber sheet first and then color and cut out the images. It is difficult to get a precise cut through the tough rubber.) I chose a color and design from the paper pad that I felt would look like a scene. The words in the Happy Boy's Day stampe set were too small for what I had in mind so I used the words from an older Dandelion Designs set,' Boy's Day'. I stamped the words first and then used a circle punch before coloring with a yellow marker pen.
While at HM Ben Franklin Crafts, I saw a box of the cutest animal washi tapes. I couldn't resist buying the tapes ( so many adorable printed rolls!). I knew I would find a use for all of them. Don't they look perfect on the envelope? You have to check out the washi tape boxes. There are many fabulous designs to choose from...guess I have to go shopping again! LOL!
