Healing Hugs - Masking

Last month, my demo friends and I did another swap like we do each month with a theme.  The theme was "Case a Card in the Catalog" and we could change the colors if we wished.  This is my swap and I cased it from page 105.  I didn't add sequins because I don't have them yet.  The technique I used was "masking" with the roses.  Here are the instructions on how to make my card:


1.     The base of the card is Highland Heather cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.  Randomly stamp the stitching stamp around the edges with Gorgeous Grape ink on the front of the card base.

2.    The Whisper White layer is 3-1/2” x 3”.  Ink up the rose with Gorgeous Grape ink and stamp it in the center.

3.    Then stamp it again on a Post-it note and trim it out with the Paper Snips and place the mask over the rose by lining it up exactly on the Whisper White cardstock.

4.    Now, ink up the rose with Gorgeous Grape and then stamp off on the grid paper to make the roses on either side to be lighter than the middle one.

5.    Now, before remove the mask, ink up the leaves with Coastal Cabana ink and stamp two on either side of the middle rose.

6.    Remove the mask and place it over the lower rose, and stamp more leaves.

7.    Use the cross-stitch Framelit and Big Shot to create the stitching at the top of the Whisper White cardstock.  Then attach a little off center to the right with Snail Adhesive

8.    Use the Triple Banner Punch to create a banner.  Ink up the “Sending You Healing Vibes” with Coastal Cabana ink.

9.    Attach the Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon across the front of the card at the bottom using Glue Dots or Tear and Tape.

10.  Use a Pearlized Doily and cut off a little bit of it and attach to the back of the banner.  Attach above the ribbon.

11.   Use the White Baker’s Twine to tie a bow and attach it to the card with a Glue Dot.

Swirly Bird for Father's Day

Have you ever made your own Designer Series Paper?  I watched a video by Kathleen Wingerson and just love the way hers turned out, so had to make it too.   I stamped the larger  swirly stamp on Whisper White with the new In-Color Dapper Denim and then stamped it again with the smaller swirly stamp.  For the water, I used the same DSP that I made, except I sponged it and then cut it out with the Big Shot using the striped Swirly Scribbles Thinlet.  I stamped the sun in Daffodil delight and used a Dauber to color it in more.  I used the new punch called Classic Label, but first stamped in Real Red ink "Happy Father's Day" from the new Thoughtful Banners set.  Just love the way my card turned out by using the Bone Folder to curl the red striped sail to make it appear as it was moving from the wind.

Fall is in the air!  Yes, it is finally sweater weather here in Indiana.  It has been a hot summer, so it's nice to have cooler weather....
