The whimsical stamps are ones that I definitely gravitate towards. Today’s card features one of those stamp sets. Hey Chuck is a compliment to the retired Hey Chick stamp set. And it is just as fun as the other.
Stamp Bundle
The Hey Chuck stamp and die bundle is so fun! There are three Chuck images in different forms of silliness. And there are accessories to go along with him. The Dies cover the all of the images with a few extras. When I saw the Sun Die I knew which direction I was going in. I really like the sun and how perfect it is with the Rise & Shine sentiment. Poor Chuck looks like he is having a little difficulty getting his day started. Coloring him with Stampin’ Blends lends such freedom of color choices. And helps make color choices for the card. The boxer shorts were the color ideas as well as the embossed layer.
Layers
The boxer shorts led to the color choices as well as the layout. The polka dot of the shorts were the key to the Basics Embossing Folders pick of the Polka Dot Embossing Folder. And even though the dots on the shorts are Berry Burst for the brighter color, they match fine with the Moody Mauve of the card stock that is embossed.
Next is the Misty Moonlight layers, which also come from the shorts. The thin layer between the White card base and Moody Mauve layer needed to tie in and the Misty Moonlight does that. To further carry the theme, I used that as the larger layer for the sentiment and for Hey Chuck. The sentiment is simply cut to fit. But the Chuck layers are cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. These are stand alone dies in the Annual Catalog. I think these are a must have for your tools. The rounded edges are so different than other layering dies.
To add the sun rise behind the Chuck layer was a surprise or lightbulb moment. I wanted to use it but could not figure out how. Then I realized it fits perfectly back there. And the Wild Wheat is a great color to tie in with the Chuck colors.
