New Season New Wonder - Masking Technique








New Season New Wonder



Masking Technique

I think I am getting carried away with Glimmer Mists!
Both of these cards were created using Glimmer Mist Tattered Angels


Card 1 I stamped the images then cut them out and used them as a mask on the card
where the Glimmer Mist did not go from the Masking technique I stamped to get the effect you see above. It almost makes it looks like it is embossed, it just gives it a little more dimension.

Tattered Angels Colors Use: Starfish, Sugar, Green

Card 2 
I used 2 of the images that I used for the masking technique and popped them up
with foam adhesive
Tattered Angels Colors Use: Starfish, Sugar




Thanks for stopping by
Happy Crafting!

Monday Linky Party! Link Up!


Thankful For You $5.40

I am extremely happy with how this card turned out. I sat down and made 5 or 6 cards one day using Glimmer Mist and the beginning the cards were VERY simple and at the end (I still feel simple) this is the last card I made and it just looks a bit more complicated then when I started.. does that make sense?

For the Pattern on the card I had used an EK Success Plaid Punch and punched some Kraft Cardstock and then laid that piece on the card and spritzed the glimmer mist, then repeated.

The Butterfly was stamped and then cut out and adhered to Iridescent Cellophane and underneath that Tulle that had been punched with a 2 1/2 in circle punch
Below that I took ric a rac ribbon in pink and attached it to the white ribbon using tombow adhesive and trimmed the ends of the ribbon

I stamped the sentiment on white cs and cut around it and adhered it to the front of the card.. Voila, the card is finished!

I am submitting this to the Monday Linky Party for {ippity}..

Sundays Re-Visited


Hello Blog World! Sundays are Projects Re-Visited.. I made this Card in April and just absolutely fell in love with it, everything about the card! The colors, the tree and the sentiments on the card. A Perfect guy card in my opinion.

Below is the ORIGINAL post from April.





I really love how this card turned out, I had no clear idea for what I wanted to put together when I started.
The Paper and Image is from Cricut Imagine JT Art cartridge.
I just really liked how the tree looked lonely, so I chose the tree then I had to find the paper.. honestly I thought the tree was more gray then blue..

I cut the tree at 4.0 twice, the patterned paper I actually chose the rounded square and filled it with the pattern then print & cut.

I inked the top tree in Tim Holtz Distress ink Vintage Photo, and popped it using CTMH 3d Foam Tape

The sentiment on the front of the card is from {ippity} Authentic Man Set
I used versamark and heat embossed it with Tim Holtz Distress Powder in Vintage Photo

The sentiment inside the card is from {ippity} Delightful Little Things set

I thought adding ribbon would make the card to girly, but who knows I may add blue or brown ribbon to it..
