Tim’s technique for this month was an interesting one. Rather than his usual style of lots & lots of layers of stuff, this involved using masks to make layers of stamping. It results in a nice flat card that has the look of dimension, but is easily mailed.
Naturally, I had to pick a stamp that was kinda tricky to make a mask from, Hero Art’s Silhouette Grass stamp. I only masked the solid parts of the grass, so the letters from my Old Letter Writing Stamp would show behind the thinner bits of the grass.
My stamped butterflies were kind of lost, so I outlined them with a Picket Fence Distress Marker
A little bit of Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges and some Baker’s Twine finished it up.
It’s not the fanciest card I’ve ever made, but it was quick, and it’ll do. 🙂
Happy creating!
Oh, that’s so nice. It reminds me that fall is coming. Yes, flat cards are more versatile; you can send them across the country with just one stamp instead of two. 😀
Yeah,but the lumpy ones are so much more fun. 🙂
The lumpy ones are more spectacular, too. I just tremble because I don’t know what they look like upon arriving at their destination. I’ve SEEN what the PO can do. O.o
