Glue Dots & Whimsy Stamps Blog Hop

Welcome to the Glue Dots & Whimsy Stamps Blog Hop!  Boy, are you in for a treat this week!  There are so many amazing projects by the designers, as well as some awesome prizes, including a grand prize valued at $100.  So, without further ado, here’s my little contribution to this fabulous lineup.

How cute is that Penguin Superhero image?!  I just love his chubby cheeks!  I colored him with Copics and cut him out with my ScanNCut.  I couldn’t resist adding some white highlights with a gel pen and lots of sparkle to his cape and symbol.

For my background, I inked up some Bristol Smooth paper with the following colors of distress ink:  Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot.  After I was happy with the blending, I laid down the Sun Rays Stencil and rubbed on some white pigment ink.  Some droplets of water and shimmer spritz add depth and interest to the background.  Once everything was dry, I die-cut the panel with the largest die from the Hand Stitched Nested Rectangles Dies and attached it to a cardbase with Glue Lines.  I like to use really strong adhesive to affix my panels, and these Glue Lines fit the bill perfectly.

My sentiment was created with the Bold ABC Dies and You’re My Favorite stamp set.  I die-cut the letters from red glitter paper, adhered them with Micro Dots, and white heat-embossed words from the stamp set.  The penguin was added with Pop-Up Dots.  I love the dimension they give!

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to leave comments on all of the hop stops.  Once you’ve done that, you can enter the giveaway for the grand prize by adding your name and email to the linky tool on the Whimsy blog.  Winners will be randomly selected and announced on Monday, September 3rd.  Good luck and happy hopping!
