Behind the mask

Today I've been playing with some masking tape and chalk inks to make a couple of Unity cards.

I used the Christy Tomlinson Urban Chevron stamp for the card on the left and the sentiment on the right card is from the Bold Insight store kit.

I've then added stickers and a die-cut to embellish.

Now I'm off to try some more masking and inking.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and, as always, thanks for visiting!

Alcohol ink and Unity

Better late than never, but I've been busy enjoying the lack of rain with the kids!!

Today I've been playing with my neglected alcohol inks and some Unity stamps to make a couple of cards. Both of them use the same technique:

1. stamp on to glossy cardstock using Versamark ink
2. emboss the stamped image using clear embossing powder
3. add alcohol ink over the image and blend until happy with results
4. place piece of clean paper over the image and heat with an iron until the embossing powder comes off on to clean paper and leaves image on alcohol ink background

My first card uses the Urban Chevron stamp by Christy Tomlinson:

I added a sentiment cut on the Craft Robo and a Prima flower centre.

My second card uses Bella Doilies:

To this one I added a Kaisercraft rub-on sentiment.

As always, thanks for visiting!!

Chevron layout

I found these pictures of my younger son that I wanted to scrap but couldn't find any suitable paper to use so decided to just use stamping to add some pattern. I used the fab Urban Chevron stamp by Christy Tomlinson for Unity Stamps available in the shop here.

I stamped in black ink and then used a silver Promarker and a green Bic pen to colour in a few parts of the chevron before adding the embellishments:

Materials used:

white cardstock

Unity stamp (as above), black Versacolor ink, green Bic pen, silver Promarker

Scrapworks dotz, HOTP button and brad, American Crafts rub-on.

Thanks for visiting!!
