Time for another hop! I chose the “We Must Celebrate” stamp set to pair with the Painter Tape background technique for our Stampers Dozen Blog Hop this month. This technique is quite simple and uses very little supplies. You will need is some ink pads, cardstock and painters tape to create wonderful backgrounds that will compliment a variety of looks.
To do the technique you tear off a piece of tape from the roll, lay it across the ink pad, rub a little with your finger to transfer the ink to the tape and then lay the tape onto your cardstock, ink side down, rub ink onto cardstock. You can change the effects by also tapping instead of rubbing the tape onto the ink pad and/or the cardstock.
I stamped and colored the image first, then made a mask to do my technique.
I chose to do the grass in Lemon Lime Twist
Don’t you just love the texture?
The sky is done with Pool Party towards the horizon and then changed to Soft Sky. This transition is subtle but adds depth to the sky. The clouds just formed naturally from the technique.
I felt the card needed more color so the addition of snails and mushrooms, popped up with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, did the trick.
I was hoping that you would be able to see the addition of Wink of Stella onto the snails and mushrooms but it is hard to photograph.they just look blurry. . .
Don’t you just want to reach out and pinch those chubby little squirrel cheeks??
I continued the fun to the inside of the card and added some dots with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. I leave the inside of my cards blank most of the time so I can customize it to the person I am sending it to.
Now let’s see what background technique Susan is bringing you!
