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!

More Unity tags

I have a stack of tags already coloured with either Dylusions inks or distress inks and turned to those today to make a couple of Unity stamps tags.

The main tag was coloured with Dylusions inks and then the sentiment from Bold Insight was stamped using grey Memento ink. The dragonfly from the same set was stamped on to card coloured with distress inks before being cut out and adhered to the tag.

This second tag is slightly smaller but made the same way. The sentiment is from Moments in Bloom and the flowers are from Bold Insight. I added a tiny rhinestone to the centres.

As always, thanks for visiting!

Hindsight tag

Another tag from me this week, this time using stamps from Unity's Bold Insight store kit.

I stamped the sentiment straight on to the patterned paper. The flowers were stamped on to white card and then coloured with Prismacolor pencils before being stuck on with foam pads:

The fern stamp is from the Unity set "Moments in Bloom" (here).

Bold Insight!

Hi there!
I have a card to share with you today. I had such fun making this and surprisingly it turned almost exactly as I planned it too!! Very unusual!

I used the 'Bold Insight' set available form the lovely Emily here I used my Versafine Green to stamp onto a Nesties shape then coloured with Distress Inks and water splattered! The ribbon is tied round the card through the Nesties shapes. The paper is from a Vintage Pad as were the little Flowers, I just added a Pearl Gem and some stick on Pearls.

I hope you like my card, thanks for looking and I'll see you soon.
