TECHNIQUE TIME – MASKS

Hello to my card making friends. Many of you may know that one of my goals this year is to participate more regularly in Blog Hops.

It has been a while since I joined the FRESHLY BREWED PROJECTS blog hop, but I’m working on my stamping schedule to make sure I include the themes and dates (fingers crossed).

The theme this week is MASKS. I chose to use a very simple masking technique for this card.

I wanted to create stacked ice cream cones but didn’t want to punch out separate ice cream tops.

I stamped one ice cream image onto a post it note and fussy cut it out. To create the ice cream trio stack I stamped the image in Gorgeous Grape onto Basic White card stock. The post it note was secured over that stamped image. I cleaned and reinked the stamp in Pretty Peacock and stamped the image a little lower. I repeated this step using Bermuda Bay.

The two ice cream stack was created using the same steps using Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody.

And, the Magenta Madness ice cream went solo. Finally, there was fussy cutting.

The waffle looking sheet from the ICE CREAM CORNER DSP pack was cut the cake cones.

Joy Kids Cake Ice Cream Cone - 1260/Case

The greetings were stamped using Bermuda Bay and Magenta Madness. This double stamping creates a colourful shadow.

Make sure you hop along to the other Freshly Brewed Projects participants for other great ways to make your cards shimmer.

The colours I chose to use are also the colours for #CI91.

No photo description available.

I didn’t add glitter paper to the card but did use CLEAR WINK OF STELLA.

Happy stamping.

CI#83 COLOUR CHALLENGE

A few weeks ago, I made a card for the Colour INKspiration CI#81 using these colours.

I was so pleased to be named the winner and asked to be a guest designer.

This is the colour scheme for CI#83.

At first, I found this colour palette challenging but decided to use the leaves in the image as my inspiration.

So, the LOVE OF LEAVES BUNDLE was called into action.

I love the dies in this bundle and the stitched features they give.

I enjoy layering elements on a card … and, a bit of bling. Thank goodness for WINK OF STELLA and ENAMEL DOTS.

The sentiment ‘I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE IN MY LIFE’ is ideal for so many situations.

Let me know what you think of this card.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

COLOUR CHALLENGE

A little while ago, I shared a card that I made for a colour challenge.

I find it’s a great way to work with different colour combinations – especially if they are not your ‘go to’ colours.

This was the Inkspiration for CI#80. Not my usual palette, but so pretty!

So this is my ‘entry’.

I thought the TODAY’S TILES STAMP SET was an interesting way to showcase the colours without choosing a floral stamp and colouring.

And the TASTEFUL TEXTILE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER is becoming one of my favourites!

I stamped several times using different colour combinations, then cut strips before popping each strip up onto dimensionals. The three Purple Posy tiles were achieved by using my Stampin’ Write Marker™.

I’m looking forward to inking up some of my ink spots in different colours to make some more cards.

Let me know what you think?
