You’re How Old? by Amanda Southern

Hi everyone

I have a clean & simple make for you this week using Tim Holtz fabulous new stamps in his crazy range this time it’s the Crazy Dogs and as a dog owner, I have one that looks like the little guy at the front, I love them all.

Here’s What I did:-

I first die cut the polaroid and with the photo section it cut from the frame I stamped my trio of crazy dogs. The front chap was stamped first and then stamped again onto a Post It Note and cut out, this would act as a mask to allow me to stamp either side of him so that they appear to be behind him. Once stamped I then coloured with coloured pencils blending the colour with paper stumps and blending solution.

I then stamped the balloons onto a separate piece of card coloured and cut out. I then stamped the text onto the polaroid frame. I then fixed the photo and balloons to a piece of white card and doodled the balloon strings on with a fine liner black pen. I then positioned the frame and added using 3D foam squares. I even added a little chap and sentiment to the inside of the card.

Black Archival Ink Pad
