Chubby Chums Make Life Fun

Dang.  I was going to link to the card where I first noticed Chubby Chums but cannot find it now.  It had one of the animals--owl?--with a large star diecut out of the card mounted of a field of stars.  It was very fun.  Poo!  Wait!  Found it.

Well, I had to buy these stamps after seeing that.  Like I don't have enough stamps, even ones I haven't used yet (shhh---don't tell my man).  But still, had to.  This is the first card using the stamps and the first card in a great long while that I've colored with my Spectrum Noirs.  It felt a little weird.  Like riding a bike when you haven't for the longest and it's just a bit wobbling going.

I stamped 3 of the chums atop each other and embossed them.  I then colored them, added a leftover strip of the polka dot DP and stamped the sentiment.  I waffled between card base colors and decided to go with white so the chums would really pop.  I did want more dimension, googly eyes would have been fun but I don't have the right sizes, so I used Glossy Accents instead.  I also added 3 tiny Enamel Accents dots--originally was thinking sequins but they seemed too large compared to the DP dots.  There you have it.

I just realized I didn't color the dogs tongue or the cat's nose!  Pretend they're pale pink.

The Details:  Paper Smooches Chubby Chums stamps, Penny Black Nature's Wishes sentiment, Glossy Accents, Black Enamel Accents, Versafine Onyx Black, Spectrum Noirs, PTI white cardstock base, Crafter's Companion cardstock for coloring, Hampton Art clear embossing powder

I'm entering this in Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes, Fab 'n' Funky #224 Walk on the Wildside, Crafty Creations #268 Just for Fun, Without Words Cute and Fluffy, and City Crafter #222 Animal Magic
