Feel Better Pooch

I created two masks to make this cute card front. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Bella & Friends

   Hardwood

   Sorry for Everything

Paper:

   Delightful Dijon A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Delightful Dijon

Markers:

   Cherry Cobbler

   Early Espresso

Technique:

   Double Masking

Accessories:

   Two-Way Glue

   Masks

   Adhesive

First, I created a mask for the puppy, and then one for the hardwood wall in the background. You can find a tutorial for this technique at SCS: Double Masking.

To create a mask for the Hardwood wall, I tore a hole in the center of a Whisper White panel and attached the panel to the Whisper White card panel. This was mask #1. I used paper clips to keep the two panels together.

I then stamped the puppy in the center of this opening, using Archival Basic Black.

Next, I added the mask of the puppy over him (mask #2), and then stamped the hardwood wall, using Delightful Dijon. 

I then removed the masks, and stamped the sentiment on the top and the bottom of the card, using Archival Basic Black ink.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the Delightful Dijon card front and added the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

So Sorry for Your Loss

 Stencils can be used in many ways. Here is what it looks like when you wipe away acrylic paint using a stencil and a baby wipe. I must say, I am pleased with the movement of the paint and the clarity of the stencil. What are your thoughts?

Stamps:
   Sorry for Everything

Paper:
   Pineapple Punch A-2
   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Acrylic Paint:
   Yellow
   Orange
   Blue

Technique:
   Wipe Out

Accessories:
   Stencil
   Brayer
   Baby Wipes
   Stamparatus/MISTI/Stamp-a-ma-jig
   Adhesive

I advise you to use a heavy cardstock for this background technique. Have paints, brayer, stencil, and baby wipes at the ready. You must wipe away the paint before it dries.

First, apply drops of different acrylic colors on your panel, and quickly use your brayer to spread the paint on the panel.

Immediately, place the stencil over the paint and gently swipe the baby wipe across the stencil, removing some of the paint. Do not press too hard so the panel doesn't tear. 

Let it dry and use it as a background.

I did not want to cover up my creation. So, I decided to just stamp a sentiment. I suggest you use a tool that will allow you to stamp several times in exactly the same spot. This way you can make the words as dark and crisp as you like. A Stamparatus, MISTI, or even the discontinued Stamp-a-ma-jig will do the trick.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Sorry

One of the most difficult things for anyone to do is apologize. No one ever wants to admit that they have done something wrong, or failed in some way. After all, my Mom always told me that I was perfect! Come on now, let's all confess, we are IMPERFECT. Here is a card to send when we have really shown our imperfections.

Stamps: Sorry for Everything

Paper: Daffodil Delight A-2, Bird Ballad DSP 5 1/4 x 4 

Ink: Archival Basic Black

Technique: Negative Space from Die Cutting

Accessories: Stitched Nested Labels, Basic Pearl Jewels, Adhesive

Yesterday, I posted a card where I used a piece of die cut DSP. This is what was left after that die cut. So, I am using the negative space. I find ways to use and reuse just about everything. I hope you like it.
