Painter’s Tape Butterflies card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

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.

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.
