Sloth altered image




 I wanted to use the sloth from Back on Your Feet but didn’t want the bandage on his leg. So I did a little magic with the stamparatus, post it notes, clear acetate film and my printer/copier. 

I stamped the image on a post-it (could use regular paper since I didn’t use the sticky part ). I cut out the bandaged leg so I could mask it when I stamped my image. I stamped the image using my stamparatus on the platform itself   Then I placed the bandaged leg mask over the image - just taping it at the far edge for now. 

Leaving the mask attached I slid my paper under the mask    



Then I stamped the image  the mask would prevent the bandage leg from stamping on the paper  




Remove the mask and your image is missing a leg. 



Put the paper aside.   Stamp the image on a piece of acetate sheet.  If you don’t have this you can use the acetate film that comes on the photopolymer stamps.  If is easily washed clean afterwards.



This is stamped on a piece of acetate but it’s hard to tell.  After stamping you have to be very careful to NOT move the acetate in the next step.  



Without moving the acetate, slide the stamped image on the paper under the acetate and line up the rear unbandaged leg on the acetate fills in the gap.  



Without moving the stamp clean it well and carefully just ink up the rear unbandaged leg.  Carefully remove the acetate sheet without moving the stamped image on your paper.  


Stamp the leg on your image.  Mine did not exactly match up but I was able to use the basic black marker fine top end and fill in the outline of the leg.  


Using my printer/copier I copied the completed image several time on plain white paper. (I will be saving this in my binder for future use since my 3 year old granddaughter loves her stuffed slothy. ). 
I then copied it on Sahara Sand card stock so I did not have to color the whole image.  I used Cinnamon Cider and Mossy Meadow Stampin Blends to color the branch and leaves. 
The sentiments I used are from the Love Cats stamp set.
