Where's My Hat? Challenge 196 - A Snarky Anniversary Card

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi there!  You've got Kathi here to share another project for April's Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's Challenge 196 "Where's My Hat?" 

Here's my snarky anniversary card created with two of the penguins from the Penguin Anthropomorphs Rubber Stamp Set by Lost Coast Designs.

Both stamps were stamped onto white cardstock and onto repositionable sticker paper. The images were colored with Copic markers. White gel pen was used to emphacize the penguins' eyes, then a black fine point multiliner was used to add pupils. Gold and red Stardust Glitter pens were used to add some glitter to his crown, his sceptre, and her hat dangles. 

The sticker paper versions of both images were fussy-cut and placed over their counterparts. Repositionable Scotch Tape was placed horizontally across the bottom part of the image panel. Lost Shadow Distress Ink was sponged over the tape and the masked images to add color to the background, then sponged again over a stencil to add pattern and visual interest to the background.

The repositionable Scotch Tape was moved so that it sat on the horizon line, covering the bottom of the top of the image panel. Tan dye ink was sponged over the tape and the masked images to add a floor.

The tape and masks were removed, the image panel was trimmed, edged with a black marker, then adhered to a piece of black cardstock.

Red heart-patterned paper was trimmed to 6.75" x 4.75", edged with a black marker, and adhered to a 5" x 7" black card.

A snarky sticker was edged with a black marker and matted onto a strip of gold cardstock. Gold cardstock was cut four times with a corner die. 

The image panel, matted sticker, and corners were adhered to complete the card.
