How cute is this detective? I used the Miss Detective Stamp & Cut bundle for the main image. The stamp includes separate eye images so you can create your own face styles. I colored my detective girl with Copic markers. But I had some fun paper piecing her houndstooth jacket...
To create the jacket, I started with Arctic cardstock and used the new Houndstooth Layering Stencil blended with Mist Ink on the first layer and Cornflower Ink on the second layer. I then re-stamped the detective girl and fussy cut her jacket pieces. The background stamp is an older cling rubber stamp Rough Dot which I stamped with Naples Yellow Reactive Glitz Ink on Mustard cardstock.
Bonus card! I absolutely had to make a shaker card with the new Magnifying Glass Die Set. The set includes a couple different magnifying glasses so you can also leave the center closed. I die cut the magnifying glass from Charcoal cardstock and then the handle from Sand cardstock. I also heat embossed the Charcoal portion in Clear Embossing Powder to give it a metallic look.
The background was to create! I again used the new Houndstooth Layering Stencil and blended the first layer in Butter Bar Ink and the second layer in Soft Blossom Ink. I also found some old newspaper rub-ons to add to the background. These are from the Collage Backgrounds Transfers Set. Once the background was complete, it was cut with the Postage Stamps Infinity Dies - if you only ever purchase one infinity die, make it that one! The fun shaker beads from the Be Mine collection.
