One By One - My first blog post!

Hello everyone! I’m Joe Morgan and this is my first blog post as a Viva Las Vegastamps! Design Team member. I have a strange sense of humor, as you will see in some of my postings. For this project I decided to make a card using three stamps from Viva Las Vegastamps!

To start out, I stamped the crazy lady and the gnome on white cardstock with black Memento ink and colored them with Copic markers and then cut them out. I cut the window frame by hand with a razor and then inked it with a cat’s eye pad. I cut the thought bubbles with my electronic cutting machine. I used blue Distress Ink to color the piece that goes outside the window. After that, I just assembled the pieces as you see here in the finished card. The crazy lady and the large thought bubble are adhered with pop-dots for extra dimension.

Here are the item numbers for the stamps I used, and they can all be found at the Viva Las Vegastamps! Online Store.

Gnome in Mushrooms 17244
Hear No Evil Lady 4271
One by One, The Gnomes 17230

  2. Hi Joe! I guess you and I share the same humor... I too like to use the Viva-stamps for strange mixing together and give the persons 'weird' thoughts (which aren't so weird in my mind *teehee*) Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!
