Love lives here- Tulips

Hi Y'all!

Robyn here with an all occasion ATC

featuring 

New Stamps from 

Quietfire Design.

Tulips

love lives here

The stamping is created using stamp positioners and  masking

 and  the painting with no line watercoloring.

Begin with stamping on a piece of acetate to position your stamp on the card.

Put the card in the positioner and move the  acetate around till the image is where you want it to be.

Remove the acetate and stamp in a light water based ink.

Distress old paper was used here so you can see it.

This ATC was done with Distress antique linen

Stamp on masking paper and position over the card

Use a positioner again to get the placement of the third tulip

Ta da!

Save the mask to use again.

Use your favorite water medium to color to your hearts content.

The light ink will disappear into the painting.

Outline the flourish with gold gouache or a pen can be used.

Love lives here

was positioned as above, stamped in Versafine Onyx and thermal embossed clear.

Here is the ATC without the masking.

Which do you prefer?

HOW BEAUTIFULLY LEAVES GROW OLD- CARD

Hi Everyone! This is Holly, and I'm sharing a couple cards today that have the same masked design, yet look so different.

I began by cutting my tree mask, using MAPLE TREE-FOUR SEASONS

e-cut file. You get SO MUCH with this file! I just need the tree today.

I laid the tree mask on white card stock, off to the side a bit, then sponged on DISTRESS INKS, peeled paint, fired brick and stormy sky. I applied the inks more heavily around the tree and card edges. Using the same inks, I stamped the leaves randomly, hoping for a breezy day look. The sentiment was stamped with jet black ARCHIVAL INK. The sentiment and leaves are from HOW BEAUTIFULLY THE LEAVES GROW OLD stamp set. Love it!

On a scrap of white card stock, I stamped a few more leaves, cut them out, and stuck them to the lower area of the card.

So simple, I had to give you another one.

The second card starts with stamping Friendship is a Sheltering Tree (FRIENDSHIP QUOTEMARKS SET) all over the white card stock, using dried marigold and antique linen distress inks. The tree mask was placed over the stamping, again to the left side a bit, then sponged over with faded jeans, broken china and chipped sapphire distress inks. 

Two stamps from THE WOODS WOULD BE VERY SILENT  were stamped on white card stock, then cut with Spellbinders CLASSIC OVALS. The ovals were sponged around the edges with more antique linen and dried marigold ink. All three pieces were then edged with jet black archival ink by rolling the edges against the ink pad.

The ovals were attached with foam tape and black gems were added to the card base.

I hope you try masking. It provides an easy background for your card.

Thank you for looking today!
