Animal Outings-Technique Tuesday

  I saw a card like this on Pinterest and decided I wanted to make one like it. 

1. I loved the sihouette look of the Kangaroo and the tree.

2. I thought the background would look great as a sunrise, sunset.

3. I like masking the moon and then stamping the tree over it.

4. Finally, I like using the word amazing since a beautiful sunrise or sunset is amazing to me.

Masking

You may have masked before but in case you have not it is very simple.

1. Punch the moon shape that you want from a Post-It-Note making sure the sticky part is on the shape somewhere.  Did you know you can get post it notes that are sticky all over.  I have ordered some and think they will be great for masking.

2. Sponge the colors you want all over your background including over the post it note.

3. Remove the post it note. You now have a moon and can stamp the tree on top.

I cut out the Kangaroo using the matching thinlit. and fussy cut a mound for the tree to stand on.

Tomorrow, I will share a card I made that became a WOW card by having several interesting parts to the card.  Are you loving this bundle yet?  I had such fun using every single item in the bundle for my blog this week.  Don't miss a day.

Till tomorrow,
Find some time to stamp.

Magical Day-Technique Tuesday

  Have you ever tried the masking technique?  I have used it a few times but thought this card was really cute.  Now, at first I wondered where to start the masking and then I remembered the masking rule.

1. Stamp you image on a post it note and but it out. Make sure that the top of your stamp is on the sticky part of the post it note.

2. Stamp your first image at the front spot of the card stock.  

3. Place the post it note on the top of the image and stamp again.  

4. Stamp each image as much as you want making sure to apply the post it note on the last image you stamped.  

5.  To finish off the card I stamped an extra dragon on scrap paper and color it in with Stampin blends.

Tomorrow, the card will be a WOW card and use the wizard stamp and some Brusho. Product List

Dragonfly Dreams-Technique Tuesday

Can you see the dragonfly in this card?  I used the masking technique to get the subtle image of the dragon fly.

1. First use the thinlit to cut out the dragonfly on a post-it-note, making sure one part is on the sticky part of the note.

2. Attach the post-it-note to your card base and stamp around it using a variety of stamps.  I used the stamps from the set called Timeless Textures.

3. I even used a sponge around the edges of the dragonfly with Smoky Slate ink to make sure the image would be totally visible.

4. When satisfies, pull off the post-it-note and you have a masked dragonfly on your card.

I found a similar card of Pinterest made by Leonie Schroder.  She has a wonderful explanation of how she made her card on her blog.  Check it out here.

Come back tomorrow to see a WOW card made with the Dragonfly Dreams bundle.
