Oh So Eclectic for TGIFC148

Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  It’s been a busy creating day here so far today!  This morning was spent facetiming with a demo friend while we both worked on the day’s creations.  One of the things I love about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is the friends I’ve made.   That was a fun way to spend some time while I put together my Oh So Eclectic for TGIFC148 card.

 

Oh So Eclectic for TGIFC148

 

 

The challenge for this week is the masking technique.

I chose to do that with the beautiful Oh So Eclectic stamp set.

 

 

I used a piece of Thick Whisper White for my card base.

Over it, I added a piece of Whole Lot of Lovely designer paper.

Then, I got to stamping the focal layer.

 

 

There are two ways to cut these masks.

I used both.

For the mask in the upper right, I stamped the image on text weight paper

and cut it out by hand.

The remaining two masks I cut from text paper using the Eclectic Layers Thinlits.

Why do it both ways?

Because, even though the masks cut with the thinlits are a bit larger than the image

it’s easier for some shapes like the leaves.

But since the mask are larger, it can leave you with a gap.

Whereas, the mask I cut by hand it at just the size of the stamped image — so no gap.

 

 

I started my stamping with the center flower.

Then, I laid a mask over it and stamped the next two flowers.

To create the rest of the cluster, I continued masking and stamping.

The masking gives you the impression of depth/layering.

As you can see, it is a single layer image.

 

 

To finish the card, I added loops and a bow of Whisper White Baker’s Twine

and a few sequins.

Then, I stamped the corner of my envelope using the masking technique

so that it coordinates with my card.
