MY FRIEND MASKING CARD

Pin It Now!

This clean and simple card was easier said than done!

It is a simple masking technique, with sponging and then stamping an image over.  The trouble with me is that I'm somewhat of a messy stamper!  I did not know that!  LOL

I wasted at least three cards getting ink where it's not supposed to be.  But I'm going to make more of these.  I'm determined to master this technique!  They're really nice looking when they're done.  Mine was inspired by Christine Chubb's sample. 

Supplies include:
NEW JULY 1st My Friend stamp set
Bigz Die Beautiful Butterflies #114507
Basic Rhinestones
scoring tool

Thanks for looking! 

MOJO194 Hello, My Friend

Pin It Now!

Here is my second submission for Mojo Monday this week.  I've been dying to try out this gorgeous new stamp set from the all new Stampin' Up Idea Book & Catalog, called My Friend.  It has strikingly large stamps, not a lot of coloring in required for those that like fast and easy stamping.  It's available for purchase July 1!  Not too long now!

I stamped the large floral image with Versamark, then sprinkled the fab new colored embossing powders (wild wasabi & melon mambo) on my image with my fingertips, then heat set.  Cut it up and placed.  Then I ran a piece of Wild Wasabi thru the big shot for some texture.  I used one of my favorite paper sets, Presto Patterns Specialty paper for the circles which were rubbed with So Saffron ink to match the paper above, and tucked under the wasabi strip.  Topped it off with a bit of pom pom trim and a puched flower with a bit o'bling. It wouldn't be mine without the bling!!!

Thanks as always, for checking in today!
