Lazy No Body?

Hello all,  

I’m back with an amusing card for the “No Body Here” Challenge.   I just loved the Grumpy Penguins set the minute I saw it and I thought it paired nicely with the “Lazy” sentiment stamp from the Carmen’s Veranda collection. And...I can admit that, on occasion, I have been known to have “selective participation” when it comes to work!  But, hey, we should all be allowed a few lazy moments, right!?!

Lost Coast Designs Stamps:

• Fibers Background
• Joy (dictionary print)
• Lazy sentiment

Other Materials:

• Pan Pastels
• Ranger Archival Ink, Jet Black
• Ranger Dye Ink, Cool Graphite

1. On a white card stock panel (4” x 5 ¼”), use Pan Pastels to add color.
2. Using the Fibers stamp with Cool Graphite ink, stamp over the entire panel.

4. Again, with Archival Jet Black ink, stamp partial images; this time with the Joy Dictionary print.
5. On a 2” x 3” piece of white card stock, stamp the largest Grumpy Penguin with Archival Jet Black ink.  Add some color to the Penguin as well as around the outer edges of this pieces with Pan Pastels.
