With Granny Apple Green ink, I stamped the ‘grass’ all along the bottom of the label in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation ink. A Blending Brush and Pool Party ink were used to add colour to the top of the label. The speckles were added to give texture using a stamp from the Country Birdhouse stamp set and the same Pool Party ink.

I added the leaves, from the Heart Shaped stamp set in Granny Apple Green at the top of the panel.

The sweet dinosaurs were stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card, die cut using the Darling Dinosaur Dies and coloured using Blends Pens – Pool Party and Lost Lagoon for one and Peach Pie and Cajun Craze for the other. These were glued to the label.

At this point I placed the pieces of dsp onto the card front, moving them until I was happy with the position. I then added the decorated label on top with Dimensionals only on the top and bottom. A piece of White Baker’s Twine was fed through, under the label and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the card front.

Painter’s Tape Butterflies card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on November 5, 2024October 26, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects showcasing the painter’s tape technique. This is an oldy but goodie technique and uses painter’s or masking tape, neither of which I had…….. however, washi tape works just as well so that is what I used.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the painter’s tape and butterflies’ card, you will need:

Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White and Basic Black card

I placed strips of Washi Tape, about 5½” long, one at a time onto the open ink pads. I lightly ran my finger along the length to let the tape pickup ink before lifting the tape and placing it onto the smaller panel of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Sketched Butterflies stamp set used with the painter’s tape technique to make a pretty thank you card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I started with Petal Pink ink, moved onto Bubble Bath ink, then Pool Party ink, Basic Beige and finally Fresh Freesia. Each piece of tape was left in place for a minute or two to allow the ink to transfer before being carefully peeled off.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Sketched Butterflies stamp set used with the painter’s tape technique to make a pretty thank you card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Using a stamp positioning tool, I inked up the butterflies and stamping each several times to get the depth of Black that I wanted using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The stamped panel was then adhered to the Basic Black layer and then mounted to the Basic Beige card front on Dimensionals.

Using a Blending Brush I added Night of Navy ink around the edge of the die cut circle leaving the centre un-inked. I stamped the snowflakes on the circle with Versamark ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder which I heat set using my Heat Tool. The circle was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
