OHC 54- Secret

Today's card features the newest stamp from The Greeting Farm's Super Secret Stamp Club - Ezra. The second I saw this stamp, I knew I had to pair it up with OHC theme 54 - secret. The first thing that pops into my mind when I think of "secret" is a journalist uncovering the secret of the century! I guess all those mystery books, shows and movies have got me thinking about that. And how perfect is Ezra with his camera?!

I stamped him out in brown ink and colored him in with Copics. I carefully cut him out with scissors, leaving a small white border.

For the card background, I picked two fun papers from my paper stash - a cute speech bubble paper and a camera sketchy paper. I layered them together, then added a strip of black cardstock to create some contrast.

I used  the sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Here's the Scoop stamp set, added to a thin strip of cardstock. I angle-cut the sentiment strip and adhered it to the card.

As a last touch, I added a few black enamel dots, and the card was done!

Thanks so very much for reading!

  1. Hi! OH, what a fun card! Ezra is super cute! You colored him beautifully! You really know how to pair papers together! I don't have that great selection of papers. I seriously need to go shopping for patterned papers. How do you choose your papers when out shopping?

    1. Thank you, Ka!
      I started replying here about patterned paper, but it got so long that I just made it into a proper blog post. Hopefully it helps! :D

    1. I'm really enjoying the whole secret stamp thing. It's so much fun to get an unexpected stamp and it's thrilling to open the package to see what it looks like.

      I think I'll sign up again in September!
