Inky Paws

Ready for a Challenge? This week’s Rubbernecker Blogger Challenge RBC08 (see rules below) is to make a card using any type of Masking Technique.

I’m going to show you two different ways to mask on my card today.

This is a good basic technique that can be very elegant. For you guys who are just starting out and don’t have many supplies - I made this card with one small stamp and one color of ink.

Here’s my card:

Step 1:

I cut my CS in a 5″ x 5″ square and used two Nestabilities dies (Spellbinders) to cut out circles from the center. I used tape to keep the dies in position.

Here are the circles separated (I didn’t use the donut shaped piece of CS):

Step 2:

I cut two smaller circles (Nestabilities) out of copy paper to make a mask for my dots.

Step 3:

I sponged the lavender CS center circle while still in the Nestabilities die (I used the die as a mask) with Adirondack Eggplant.

Here’s the finished sponged circle:

Step 4:

Using my copy paper small circle mask I sponged circles randomly onto my CS. Some of the circles were sponged lightly and some (darker) to make darker I applied more ink.

Here’s it is all sponged:

Step 5:

I stamped the Daisy image in all the circles. On the lighter spots I stamped my image onto scrap paper once before stamping to lighten.

Step 6:

Cut out and emboss a smaller circle out using White CS.

Step 7:

Stamp the Daisy image on a Post-it note and cut out. Stamp the Daisy once on your White circle and cover it with the Post-it flower mask. Stamp two more flowers one on each side of the first.

Step 8:

Take off the Post-it mask and color the flower. I used a Ninja Waterbrush and Adirondack Eggplant reinker.

Step 9:

Assemble your card. I added Lemon Yellow Liquid Pearls to all the flower centers and to make a ropey border.
