Bella and Pecan

Well here is card two using those neglected Stacey Yacula stamps, although to be fair these are from the recent release.  These stamps just deserve to be used, they are so sweet.  Introducing Bella and Pecan.  Bella is the rabbit and Pecan is the squirrel.  Even the names Stacey gives her little creations are so sweet.  I used the same idea on all four of the cards I made.  (See previous post for card one and the other two will follow on later posts).

In the background I stamped Bunting flags and blooms with an inked sky.  This is a very easy background but I just love this look.  I can't remember when I first saw this technique but it was Debra James from one card at a time where I saw it.  Debra did a series of cards using the torso and legs of the Prima Dolls coloured against city landscapes stamped in black.  Debra is crazy talented but these cards in particular just always stuck in my mind.

The card panel is popped up with foam and placed on gingham, which I said in my previous post is perfect against these images.

See you soon with card three.
