Whimsy Stamps May Release Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of May's release of clear & rubber stamps, dies and stencils at the Whimsy Stamps store! 

I am not normally one to use 'biker' style images on my cards, but this clear stamp set really spoke to me. It is called 'Bad to the Bone'.
I found this card idea on Pinterest and thought it would work perfectly for this stamp set. I love how it has turned out!

I used a standard A2 black card base, cutting out a panel in the front and replacing it with a thick transparency. I stamped the bike image on the front of this using Stazon black ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the set using fossilized amber distress oxide. I didn't want the sentiment to pop out too much, so I quite like the subtle tone this ink gave me.

I cut out a panel of white cardstock to add to the centre of the card and masked off the middle section for inking. I blended fossilized amber and fired brick distress oxides together for the background. I then stamped the 'bike track' using just water on the stamp and then blotting off the excess with a paper towel. This lifts the distress oxide from the paper. I inked up some more paper and stamped the American Motors shield on top. I fussy cut this out and added it to the front of the card.

Don't forget about this month's Customer Appreciation Stamp Set - free to all customers who spend $75 or more on a single retail order in the Whimsy Store!
