An incredible mistake! My sister Nan misread the directions I sent her on how to create the Painter's Tape look. And this is what she came up with. I think it is an awesome technique. I am calling it Reverse Tape Technique until I can think of a better name. Here's the how to....
1. This works best with wide Painter's Tape. Choose your 4 colors you want in the background.
2. Tear one piece of tape and lay it on the top and bottom of your ink pad.
3. Now, press your ink pad into the cardstock. You will have a solid image with torn lines on the top and the bottom.
4. Repeat with a different color ink but place your painter's tape in different parts of the ink pad. When you press the pad this time you will get ink in a different part of the card stock. Some overlapping a little.
Try this yourself and let me know what your card looks like.
Remember the Painter's Tape Technique that I posted a few days ago? Well, last night was my downline meeting and the people that came brought their cards made with the background. I was wowed with their creativity.
Dana made this card and added color behind her punched out shapes. She shared with us a fast and easy way to emboss the x design.
Janet punched out her background design with a Butterfly punch. Isn't that clever. I love how she thought outside the box.
Amanda focused on the background with her simple, but tasteful anniversary card. I love how the colors of the background shine in her card.
My sister Nan sent her card all the way from Eugene, Oregon. She loves participating in our challenges. Makes her feel a part of the group. She had different sizes of painter's tape which made her plaid design look awesome. She told me she feels that these challenges stretch her as a stamper.
I wonder what challenge I can think up for next month? If you want to try this challenge send me a picture of your card and I will show it on another entry.
