I created my masks from post-it tape, you could also use regular post it notes as a cheap alternative. Of course, masking paper would be best, but it’s not necessary. So is the MISTI, but I just it for convenience in case my first impression isn’t perfect. Your regular acrylic blocks will do just fine, too. The stamp set I am using today is Altenew’s “Botanical Garden”.
I wanted to create a “border” around my front panel, which is slightly smaller than my card base (accidentally cut a whole bunch of them too small, so now I have to add patterned paper to my card bases to make up for it … happy accident!). For my stamping, I used the My Favorite Things Hybrid ink since it would work well with Copics.
While you could go crazy with colors here, I decided to keep it to purple and orange for a summer card. I could totally see the same card with turquoise and green florals for a spring variation, too! In addition to some Lidquid Pearl accents I also added some sequins for sparkle and shine.
As with most of my cards, there's a video on my blog to show you the entire process. You can find the link to my blog in the sidebar to the right.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you got inspired!
