February’s Technique Challenge over at Club Scrap is to use masking tape. Roni gave examples of three different ways to
use masking tape. When I saw this one...
...I, for some reason, thought of the
kelp fields that I saw in the Monterrey Bay Aquarium in California (don’t ask
me how I made THAT connection!). So, I
decided to make a non-traditional Valentine’s Day card for my husband:
After masking off the “kelp” on a piece of green paper, I
sponged on Club Scrap “Ocean” and “Lagoon” ink.
It is really hard to tell the difference in color, but I like the
overall effect. With the tape still in
place I stamped and embossed the fish from the CS Seaside Unmounted set.
After removing the tape I used some of
the “Ocean” ink to stamp a background with a “water” stamp from Seaside Stampin’Ink. The turtle from CS Castaway, and the
sentiment from CS Raku were stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Lindy’sStamp Gang Embossing Powders. I love the metallic, shimmery properties of these powders which unfortunately do not photograph very well.
Finally, I sprayed the whole panel
with Iridescent Memories Mist to really give it the watery appearance.
The other supplies I used are:
**paper from Club Scrap (green base from “Equestrian”,
copper mat from “Ornamental”, green background from “Come Sail Away”).
**ribbon from CS “Just Dandy”. Heart charm I think came from Club Scrap
also, but not sure which kit.
Thanks for stopping by!
