Peeking In!

I watched a Jennifer McGuire video the other day regarding masking.  She showed a variety of ways to mask in the video.  Jennifer demonstrated using Molotow Masking Liquid.  Since I had purchased that product quite a while ago (and never used it), I decided to try it.  After stamping the cute little kitten from Stampin' Up's Pretty Kitty, I colored it in using Spectrum Noir markers.  When the coloring was done, I applied the liquid mask, covering all of the image.  After letting the mask dry for about 15 minutes, I then sponged distress inks along the lower right corner of the card sponging right over the masked image.  I sponged very lightly so as to not ruin the image.  (Next time I will not be so gentle with the sponging!)  Anyway, after I was finished sponging, I then rubbed the liquid mask off with my fingers.  Now even the white space between the flowers is pale blue.  The colored image didn't change in the least!  I added the sentiment, punched a decorative corner and added colorful sequins. The Molotow Liquid Mask will be used again!  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Baby Pop Up Box Card

Today's card is one that I spent a little time on.  I started with making the box using Lawn Fawn's Scallop Box Card Pop Up dies.  Once assembled I then added all the little animals.  The elephants are from the LF stamp set Elphie Selfie and palm trees are from the LF stamp set Life Is Good.  The giraffes are from WPlus9's Party Animal stamp set and dies.  And the cute blue parrot is from Clearly Besotted's Some Birdie Loves You set.  All of the images were colored in with Spectrum Noir markers.  Having the box card dies made it much easier to create the box card.  I probably should have first created something a little simpler, but it turned out cute anyway.   This is for a special dad and mom-to-be.  Have a great day!

Cute Bunnies

Another Wild Rose Studio stamp, the Spring Bunnies stamp is so cute.  I colored in the little bunnies with Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol.  I then used two of four Lawn Fawn Fancy Scalloped dies, one for the stamped layer and a larger one for the lilac layer.  I am not sure which sentiment I will add to the card~~maybe Happy Easter or Hello Spring or Love You.   Have a great day!

Pool Party Birthday

I have quite a bit of Stampin' Up Designer Series Paper, both current and retired.  Today's card used a pattern from the Birthday Bouquet DSP which was available in last year's Occasions Mini. I paired it with retired Subtles DSP.   Again, I used a card sketch for the layout of this card.  There are tons of card sketches on the internet.  If you are ever at a loss as to where to start when making a card, just enter "card sketches on Pinterest" in the search line.  Have a great day!
