WILD AND SWEET

Being a lover of animals of any kind, when I spotted the Wild and Sweet set in the Annual Catalog (page 87), I was immediately smitten and couldn't wait to get my hands on these cute stamps.

As soon as it arrived on my doorstep, I brought it down to my Creation Station and went to work with all three of the images.

Do any of you have this set -- and, if you do, have you used it? What did you think of the stamped quality of the images? 

I was disappointed.

I stamped each of them with different black inks, but failed to get any satisfactory images. So I worked with what I had, using black pens and Stampin' Blends liberally to make them look a little better.

These images are actually stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could use my Stampin' Blends on them. The colors I used were Light Gray Granite, Dark Crumb Cake, Light Basic Black, Light Smoky Slate and Light Shaded Spruce.

To pick up on the Shaded Spruce for unity on all three, I added the black layer onto a Shaded Spruce card base.

The three characters were die cut with the Stitched Rectangles dies. I added a strip of burlap trim to each one so they looked like a set.

Comment on the set?
