Scrappy Boy Stamps: Supercalifragilistic!

About a month ago, my friend Sean Covert, also known as Scrappy Boy, fulfilled his dream of having his own line of stamps. His first stamp set is called Practically Perfect, and it is based on everyone's favorite British Nanny. He has quite a fan following as the "behind the camera" host, computer guru, and social media expert for Stamp and Scrapbook Expo @Home so his stamps sold out in three hours after it was released! Congratulations Sean!

I was a little bummed as I was too late in ordering and had to wait another week for more stamps to be available, but it sure was worth the wait! This clear stamp set comes with 7 cute stamps and 9 sentiment stamps so you can make lots of cards, scrapbooks, and party decorations.


I could not decide which of the character stamps to use, so I decided to use them all, along with a few sentiment stamps. Then I decided to create an evening scene so I opted to make a very large A9 sized card (8.5"W x 5.5"H). I colored the stamps using Copic markers.

After coloring the stamps, I masked them to create the cobblestone walkway and houses using stencils from Stamp Anniething. Then I used distress inks to create the sky. 


Distress Inks used:
Cobblestone walkway: Brushed corduroy, Walnut stain
Sky: Faded jeans, Dusty concord, Black Soot
Houses: Black soot, white gel pen

I stamped the sentiment and cut it to fit the black mat that I die cut using a die from Gina Marie Designs. I die cut the moon and stars using dies also from Gina Marie Designs. I cut a black cardstock mat for the card front and adhered everything together. The card was finished!
