Welcome to the Highlight the Details Technique Blog Hop where we will be
For this week’s Blog Hop I decided that I would feature our Love So Sweet stamp set and show you how I used a masking technique to “highlight” those delightful butterflies♥. This double easel card was a simple one to make, but in it’s simplicity it truly calls attention to those stamped images.
♥Paper Needed: 11″ x 4¼” White Daisy (score at 5½”), 9½” x 4¼” B&T (score at 5½” & 7½”), 5¼” x 4″ White Daisy, 4″ x 4″ B&T (Score at 2″)
Now that you have the pieces for the card, let me show you how I created the background. I began by stamping the Butterfly image with Intense Black Ink onto the 5¼” x 4″ White Daisy cardstock. Our Intense Black Ink is the best to use for Watercolors and Alcohol Markers because it is waterproof, non-smearing, fast-drying AND acid-free♥.
After stamping the images, I stamped a single Butterfly onto a stack of five Full-Adhesive Sticky Notes then cut out the stack to create five masks♥. These masks were placed onto each of the stamped images on my cardstock.
To “highlight” the flowers♥, I added a few strokes from the Sugarplum Shimmer Brush to the centers. I feel that this added some dimension to the images. This card was so simple to make that I decided to create a short “How To” video for my Create with Miss. Carrie’s Creations VIP Facebook Group. I will be posting it later this week for each of you to view.
♥ I can’t wait to see what you create!
