Flowering


Happy Saturday.
Happy to have a bit of playtime as I wanted to make another card using the 

In case you missed my post, you use tape to pressed onto an ink pad and apply it to your cardstock.
To see my tutorial click the link above.

I wanted a nice white border so I took some Post-It Tape that I use for masking and tore it in half.  That gave me a rough cut opening to apply ink and stamp onto instead of a straight line border.
Next, using my Distress Oxide inks (Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Candied Apple), I applied ink using some Painter's tape randomly over the background until I was happy with the coverage.
Next, I placed the piece inside my Misti and stamped my flowers with some more of the Candied Apple which was the darkest colour on my background.
I removed my masked edge tape and mounted it simply onto a piece of red cardstock.


Have a great weekend.

These colors are so pretty together, Karen! Love the irregular masking! This design would be pretty in blue too. Hmm. Maybe I'll get a chance to try it.

Love the rough outline to the coloured panel. Great use of the masking tape - I still need to get a card made for that challenge (too busy in the garden this week!). And beautiful colour combination too!

Brilliant fiery colours Karen and love the flower stamp you have used over the painter's tape background, and love the rough cut edges for a different look. The coordinating red layer suits it perfectly. x

There's always something new to do with ink! What an interesting background and I can't imagine another way to achieve this unique look, and sounds very easy. Got to love that! Beautiful and perfect silhouette stamp. Thank you for the information, Karen. Maybe I'll give this a try!
