What a Silly Goose!

What a silly goose! This cute, whimsical stamp set is just plain fun! I’ve created a birthday card, but there are plenty of other goose-y images and sentiments to choose.

I used some new Bright & Beautiful DSP on my card, along with another new Core Color – Azure Afternoon. I do really love our new Core Colors. Bright & Beautiful has quite a few of them in their 6″x 6″ sheets.

What I Did:

• Azure Afternoon Cardstock base, 11″x 4-1/4″, folded at 5-1/2″ and textured on the front with a retired embossing folder
• Basic White Cardstock, cropped with the 2nd largest Scalloped Contours Die
• Bright & Beautiful DSP, cut to approximately 4″x 2-3/4″ plus a little shaving to fit into the scalloped die
• Basic White square, cropped with the largest Stylish Shapes Die, and sentiment banner cropped with the Stylish Shapes Dies, roughly 2-3/4″x 5/8″

Stamp, Paper Piecing, and Coloring:

• Stamp the goose onto the white square using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
• Stamp just the balloon on a scrap of DSP from the piece used above, and fussy cut it out. Glue the DSP balloon into the stamped balloon space.
• Color his/her hat, beak, and feet with Blends to match paper.
• Shade the goose’s body slightly with Basic Gray Watercolor Pencil.
• Stamp the sentiment into the cropped banner and attach both the square and banner with Dimensionals.
• Add a colorful gem or sequin.
• Mail some fun to a silly goose that you know!

Here’s the whole stamp set ~

Hope you have some fun in your craft space today!
