Rick Adkins : Way To Goat Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am kicking off a new Video Series showing how the concept artists at Stampin' Up! created different Catalog Samples. Each week I will pick one sample from one of the current catalogs and share how they made it. To kick this new series off I picked a card featuring one of my favorite stamp sets. I choose to create one of the samples from page 105 in the Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalog; that features the Way to Goat Stamp Set. Here's a look at the card.

Here's a look at the card that I am showcasing from the Annual Catalog this week.

Tips & Tricks:

You will notice a few differences from my card and theirs. I don't have the same measurements that was used in the original card so I went with what I thought was close. I did use all the same products as they did on this sample to show you how it was made.

We both used a piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock as our card base. I cut mine at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (metric people would use a piece that's 14.9 cm x 21 cm). On the front of the card base you are going to stamp the little can image from the stamp set all around in Granny Apple Green Ink. Next I stamped the Goat from the set in Tuxedo Black Ink or Stazon Jet Black. If you use Tuxedo Black you will have to heat set it or let it dry completely before using the Watercolor Pencils. The Goat was stamped on a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock that measured 3" x 4" (11.4 cm x 7 cm).

Once the ink was dry I used a few of the colors from the Watercolor Pencils and Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 to color in the Goat and the outside around him. The grass was stamped using one of the images from the stamp set. Once dry I layered this onto a piece of Balmy Blue Designer Series Paper from the Subtles Pack cut just 1/4" larger. I then stamped my sentiment in Calypso Coral Ink onto a piece of Petal Pink Cardstock and punched it using the Lovely Label Pick A Punch. I popped the sentiment strip up on Stampin' Dimensionals (I used the black ones because I had them out) and added a couple of the Butterfly Gems to finish off the card. And that my friends is How They Made That!
