A {Thank You} Card...
Monday, June 20, 2011
Hi! We've had storms this morning and my kids totally subdued. I've been taking advantage of that have been getting things done around the house. So, this card is for this week's PTI Make-It-Monday Challenge. I have found that even if I'm familiar with the technique, I still learn something new from watching the video. In this one Erin showed how to make your edges of the reverse mask more defined by inking the edges.
My card actually used two masking techniques. First I cut out a rectangle of printer paper, placed it in the center and stamped text over it. When I removed the mask I was left with a blank rectangle in the center of my card. I used reverse masking for the red heart. I punched a heart from some printer paper, used the reverse punch (paper with heart punched out of it) and stamped the flower image in the heart. I then sponged some red ink lightly all over the heart. Then I removed the printer paper.
This card was so close to be one layer! I couldn't help it to add that blue heart. I decided to add a frame to clearly define the rectangle. I used a plain old black ballpoint pen and ruler.
Have a great day!
