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.
