St. Patrick's Day is coming up and if you've ever experienced it in Chicago you know that it's no joke around here. This is a serious holiday with a capital H for hangover. But to get to the real point of this post... celebrating the holiday with my Scotty stamp set found at Simon Says Stamp. It was named Scotty because I thought the font looked a little futuristic and "beam me up, Scotty" entered my head as I was laying out the letters.
If you haven't noticed, Scotty is a double alphabet with a solid and an outline. I like the idea of layering them on top of each other to create a shadow effect. I put Scotty to good use on addressing a St. Patty's Day card to send out some good luck wishes in.
First layer was stamped with the solid alpha from Scotty and Memento Pear Tart ink:
Second layer was stamped a little off center with the outline alpha Ranger Archival Emerald Green:
Double the pleasure, double the fun... double the good luck!
Get beamed up with Scotty and give this technique a try. And also sending very Happy St. Patty's Day wishes to all of you who are not named Amanda Spurlock. Have a great weekend!
