I combined a couple of fun new clear sets for this llama selfie card... I stamped the llama first, then masked him off to stamp the bridge. Coloring is done with Copics, which I forgot to list... so sorry! I intended to use the Instant Photo Frame die for this and that was going to be so tidy, but I forgot that the negative opening cut isn't a perfect square, and I colored it sideways... so I used the a square and rectangle die to make this quick frame substitute.


The background panel on this card was made using several of Seth Apter's border stamps, stamped with Distress Inks at regular intervals using the MISTI. So much fun! I'd be happy to do a quick tutorial on that if anyone is interested. 

Stamps I used: Llama LoveBridge Set DonutsTreadyChainlink
