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.

Colourful Leaves Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using product from the Mini Catalogue or Online Exclusives. I have chosen to share a card made using the Artistic Leaves stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the colourful leaves card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside

 

On one of the Basic White panels, I masked off a strip, about 1¾” wide using Masking Paper.

Using Blending Brushes, I added patches of ink between the strips of Masking Paper. First Daffodil Delight, then Timid Tiger and finally Poppy Parade. The strips of Masking Paper were then removed.

The large outline leaf image was then stamped over the inked strip using Blackberry Bliss ink. I hindsight I wish I had used Black ink for a more defined look.
