Technique Tuesday

Well the title of this post says it all, it's Tuesday and I have a technique for you. Use a piece of Shimmery White cardstock.  Get some low tack masking tape (painter's tape) and a couple of super juicy ink pads (our new firm foam ink pads are perfect for this) and then rip off a piece of tape, press it into the ink pad and then put the tape onto your piece cardstock.  Repeat with other colours.  Rub over the tape with your hand or brayer and then remove the tape.  Beautiful  background to stamp over. Super simple, sounds like it should not work, but you be the judge, what do you think?

I used Mint Melody and Crisp Cantaloupe ink and the tree image is from Serene Silhouettes and I stamped it int Versamark and then black embossed.  You can definitely use standard black ink too.  The sentiment is from the hostess set, Express Yourself.

 

Happy Stamping,

So simple

Just like Goldilocks

You know, too hard, too soft, just right.  Midnight Muse is that "just right" dark blue, not too dark, not too light, just right.

Midnight Muse on the left, Not Quite Navy in the Middle and Night of Navy on the right.

 

As usual, our ink is a perfect match.  The DSP is from Birds of a Feather, doesn't it look perfect with this blue.

Happy Stamping,

Easy Layouts are perfect

And after the Christmas cards,

the next set of cards I make are Thank you cards,  always need to send out a few.Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy are beautiful together.  This is a very simple card design, 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 card base with a 1 3/4 x 5 1/2 strip of Patio Party DSP.  I thought the tiny hearts were perfect for a thank you card.  The sentiment is from Wacky Wishes, a current Hostess set while the floral image is from one of my favorite sets, Serene Silhouettes.

Happy Stamping,

Serene Silhouettes

This set is one of my favorites, I love all the images in this set and you can use them for any type of card, just use different sentiments and colours.

 

I needed a get well card for a special friend and this was the set I reached for.  First I used our Window Frames Collection framelits and cut a mask out of a scrap piece of paper and then sponged with More Mustard and Cajun Craze.   The image is stamped with Black Stazon and then using my Stamp a ma jig,  I added the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The image panel is matted with Basic Black and then layered onto another piece of Whisper White that has been run through the Big Shot with our Lacy Brocade Impressions folder.
