We have many stamp sets to say thank you, happy birthday, and thinking of you. But there are not a lot of stamp sets to wish someone a speedy recovery. So when I saw this adorable single stamp in the Annual Catalog I knew it would find its way to my stamp shelf.
The stamp looks like this:
Here is what I did to step it up.
I started with a Crumb Cake Note Card. Then I stamped the image in Versamark Ink onto another piece of Crumb Cake card stock. I added Black Embossing Powder and heat set the image. (Don't forget to use your stamping' buddy on the card stock before you ink it up. This keeps stray flecks of embossing powder from sticking where you don't want it.)
Next I followed the same procedure on a piece of DSP. I used a piece from the retired Adventure Bound DSP paper stack. I thought this was a great use of retired DSP. Then using my Paper Snips I fussy cut the bowl out. The embossing makes it easy peasy to snip out.
I glued the bowl onto the Crumb Cake card stock over the stamped image carefully aligning it with image on the card.
Then I repeated the process one more time on a scrap piece of So Saffron card stock. This time I cut out the "soup" only and glued it onto the DSP bowl. Again I carefully aligned the snipped piece with the other elements of the image.
The result is one unified image.
I hope this cheered up a colleague who is recovering from some surgery.
Thanks for stopping by!
