Hello!
Woah! So I kinda feel like its been forever since I blogged. My last blog post was before Easter & I mentioned that I hoped to craft a lot and try some new challenge blogs as you can tell that did not happen:(
It took me quite a lot longer to finish those wedding invitations I mentioned, then I got sick during Easter and then had some personal / family stuff come up and I just couldn't bring my self to get crafty or to blog, but I'm so happy to be feeling better and be in my craft room. I have a lot of catching up to do on all your gorgeous blogs and projects, may take me a bit but I will do it!:)

I have another card to share with you using the Unforgettable stamp set by W plus 9. Eek, still can't get over this adorable set.
So this card took a whole lot of masking. I stamped out my scene on white cardstock and every image I used on the card I also stamped on some scrap paper to be able to create masks to protect my images for when I sponge in my ink to create the backgrounds. The balloons were a little more tricky just because they over lap so I stamped 3 on my card first covered them with the mask I created and then stamped the others. I covered all my images with my masks and blended on various distress ink colors (will list below) to create my sky and ground. I then removed all my masks and colored all my images with Copic markers. I stamped my image on some and added it to the card. As a side note I keep all the mask I create inside the stamp set to use again later.
Also I made the elephants have a night party simply because I wanted to use the stars in the set:)!
Thank you so very much for stopping by and for being patient with my non blogging recently. Your all so sweet and always appreciate your kindness!

What an adorable card Shannon!! Your masking is amazing! So glad you're feeling better and back to blogging and crafting again! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Shannon! I have been on a break, too, since before Easter and just came back. People will think we ran off together to some fun exotic stamping retreat! We wish!! I adore your card and your expert masking! You know I saw on National Geographic just the other day that elephants ONLY party at night so your card is historically correct in every way! That's a total lie, but it sounded good, huh? Enjoy your day and being back to card making!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is just about the cutest card I've seen Shannon and if that's what you can do after a break, I need to go away for a while!! Love everything about it and all that stamping and cutting out was truly worth the effort. Glad you are feeling better.
