Hello!
Day 2 of Camp Create, session 2.
Today´s craft is ”Magnificent Masking”. And emboss resist
coloring. Another challenging challenge as I own two
background stamps only, one of them is polka dots
and that didn´t excite me at all for this task.
So I decided to make my own background stamp/ing,
using the mice from the ”It´s a mice time to celebrate” set by
Stacey Yacula/MTF, and I added som mini circles from the
”Friendly Florals” set from Neat & Tangled, as there were too
much empty, white space in between the images.
My idea was to mask and emboss resist/highlight
the mouse in the bottom right hand corner.
To start this masking/emboss resist process I positioned the
stamps I had chosen in my Stamp platform,
I used a grey ink for my first layer of stamping.
I then took a post-it note and die cut a circle in the center.
I placed the die cut post-it note over the mouse that was
to be embossed, inked up the selected mouse stamp with
black ink this time, removed the post-it note, sprinkled on some
embossing powder in clear and heated it with my heat gun.
I placed the post-it note in the same place as before and
some strips of painter´s tape to cover a little bit
more of the card panel, to not accidentaly stain
any Distress ink where I didn´t want it!
I was inspired by counselar Stephanie´s colorful cards and I
blended Distress Inks in the circle of my mask,
I used Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Picked
Raspberry, Candied Apple and Mustard Seed.
As I didn´t have a colorful patterned paper the same colors
I decided to do some ink blending directly on the front of my
card base, using the same Distress ink colors I used in the circle.
I adhered the stamped and colored card panel to the
card base, using foam dots for some dimension.
Thank you for stopping by today!
