Fantastic Job

Welcome

Meet today's card.

I tried out a 'new to me' technique that was really fun.  It was a challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers called Camo Fun....you take one stamp and repeatedly stamp over your panel with different complementary colours.  So fun with so many possibilities.  

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock for my card front and positioned the Marvelous Deckle Rectangle Mask from A Colorful Life Designs over it.  I love these masks for creating a card with a clean, white border.
• I got out my Simon Says Stamp set called Amazing.  It has so many different shapes with great sentiments.  I chose this dot circle to create my background.  I began by inking it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink, then continued stamping with some Peeled Paint and lastly Peacock Feathers until the panel was covered. 

• When I was happy with the stamping, I splattered using my black Posca pen and sponged around the edges before removing the mask.
• I dried the panel with my heat tool, then placed it into my Misti.  I rubbed it with my anti-static bag, then stamped and clear heat embossed the sentiment from the same SSS set. Such an encouraging set of sentiments in that set.
• I glued the panel onto a heavy white card base, then added the 3 black gems.

This card is going out to a special friend who has worked so hard all during this pandemic and is now taking courses online while still working.  I think everyone can use all the encouragement possible during these difficult times.

Encouragement

Here is a card I made awhile ago to encourage a friend who had lost a dear one.  This card was created by punching a circle and using it for a mask before stamping.  I applied some temporary adhesive to the circle and sponged on Distress Ink (Antique Linen) before stamping the Penny Black image (inclinations)

with Memento brown.  I removed the circle mask and stamped the sentiment.  The ribbon is brown but appears black in the photo. 

Busy weekend coming up.  Here's hoping you can find a few 'snippets' to enjoy your weekend.

Thanks so much for coming to take a look.
