This is a Whipper Snapper stamp called "Ski Jumping Penguin" illustrated by Anna Wight. I think Miss Anna must ski because this little fella is drawn SO WELL. How I wish I could jump like him!
The sentiment is also from Whipper Snapper. It's from the Sweet Expressions cling mount stamp set. Both stamps can be found here: http://www.whippersnapperdesigns.com/.
I FINALLY managed to use some Ranger Distress Ink on a card without throwing the card away! I purchased two different colors (Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo); I asked a stamper (darleenstamps), who is excellent with distress inks, how she applies them; I read the directions on the back of the ink pad; all to no avail. This time I tried again to do what Darleen told me and applied Vintage Photo very lightly from the outside towards the middle (I started off the edge of the paper on some scratch paper and worked inward), and I was satisfied with the effect. Have any of you experienced the same difficulties? Tell me your secrets!
Here's wishing you a sunny day and happy days on the slopes!
