Making Some Plaid with Inked Tape

Hello and Welcome.

Today, I have the pleasure of hosting the TLC (Technique Lovers Challenge) over at Splitcoast Stampers.

Basically what I do is to choose a technique and set it up like a challenge for everyone to try.

I like to present some easy ones, using materials that everyone will have on hand.

This one is simple and fun and is called Magical Masking Tape.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock for my front panel.
• I got out some Distress inks (Barn Door, Mowed Lawn) and some Painter's Tape.  You could use masking tape, washi tape or even Scotch tape if you don't have the other. 
• I took a piece of the tape as long as my panel and pressed it onto my ink pad, sticky side on the pad.  I laid the tape onto my white cardstock and rubbed.

• I started with some green stripes and then added some red ones.  Where the red and green stripes overlap, it made another colour.
• I continued this process until the front of my panel was all inked up.  I just love the texture impression the tape made.
• To give my card the look of plaid, I drew in some lines and dashes with a Signo Fineline marker.  
• Next, I placed the piece into my Misti and using the Outline Snowflake stamp, I inked it up with some Versamark ink, pressed it over the inked panel and then white heat embossed it.
• I splattered with my white Posca paint pen and coloured in a few areas white.
• I added the die-cut sentiment from Simon Says. It is a two part die so I cut one from black cs and the other from a piece of vellum and then lastly added some red sequins.
• I mounted the piece onto some red and then green cardstock and then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
