The Moose Are Loose!





Well, almost anyway! Riley the Moose is a new image that will debut on the Hanna Stamps Website on February 1st. As you can see the Riley images are wood mount stamps while the Hanna line is clear and unmounted.

Last night I made this coordinated set using each of the new images. As I've talked about before, when I make a set, I have something that unifies the set. Here it is the layout. Simplicity in its paper and embellishment choices and showcasing the images are what I was shooting for last night.

All images are stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and watercolored in with reinkers and a watercolor brush. Crystal Effects are applied on each card to add a bit of depth and texture.
The papers are assorted - some SU!, some Bazzill, and Neenah Classic Crest Natural White for the base and images. Mini brads were selected to coordinate with each image, a couple of staples (I know you either love them or can't stand them!) and assorted sentiments from my shelves round out this set.

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!
