A striking monochromatic, black and white card made using the Shell Collecting stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Monochromatic Shells Card – Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a dice roll giving us masking, standard vertical, pearl, for you and black and white. I have made my monochromatic shell card using the Shell Collecting stamp set.

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the pop out monochromatic shell card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Scrap Basic White panel bigger than 5¼” by 3½”

 

I cut a circle, centrally in the upper half of the larger, scrap piece of Basic White card. I placed the negative piece over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and secured it in place with a little washi tape. I used a Blending Brush to add a little Memento Tuxedo Black ink to the exposed circle. The masking panel was then removed.

I stamped the largest shell, overlapping the inked circle with the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The same image was then stamped onto a Post It Note and fussy cut out. I then used it to mask off the stamped shell.

I chose a sentiment from the Fragrant Layers stamp set, masked off the words I didn’t want with washi tape. The words I did want were then inked with the Black ink, the washi tape was removed and words stamped onto the circle.

Order goodies/Join My Team

If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator I would love to be yours!  If you don’t have a catalogue and live in the UK, please let me know and I will be delighted to send you one.  To order any supplies click on the “shop online” button at the top of the page. Alternatively, contact me and I would be happy to place an order for you. To join my team either click on the link above or click on the contact me button above and I will contact you with more information.
