more color mondays – daffodil delight, coastal cabana and flirty flamingo

It’s Monday and that means another color challenge. Today’s challenge features Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Flirty Flamingo!

I am using a Faux Layering technique and embossing for this simple and stunning card!

Measurements:
BASE: Coastal Cabana CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and scrap for
sentiment piece.

Tear post it notes or masking paper and layer on the top and bottom of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White piece. Leave about 1 1/2″ – 2″ gap in between the post it notes.

Using a Blending Brush, layer Coastal Cabana on the bottom third of the opening.

Using a second blending brush add a layer of Daffodil Delight ink above the Coastal Cabana overlapping the colors slightly!
Using a third blending brush layer Flirty Flamingo across the top of the opening and overlap with the Daffodil Delight slightly – this creates a gradient look and new colors in the mix!
Stamp one of the images from the Online Exclusive Prairie Grass stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink across the Post-It notes three to four times across the paper.
Remove the Post-It notes.
Place the Basic White colored layer in the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and emboss.
Adhere to the Coastal Cabana card base.
I used a 1″ x 2 3/4″ scrap of Basic White CS and stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink a sentiment from the Prairie Grass stamp set.

I colored the cardstock with a Blending Brush and Flirty Flamingo ink.

I distressed the edges with the edge of my Snips scissors and then popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and layered it in the left-hand upper corner of the card.

I added some black dots to finish off this dramatic silhouette faux layer card!

Try this technique and see what you can create – one stamp at a time!

Using a mask both negative and positive side is a fun way to create a fun and easy background.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Mask: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Using a Blending Brush, and Balmy Blue ink.
Punch a circle out of the mask layer.
Place the Layer over the card front.

Blend inside the circle punch out.
Remove the mask from the card front.
Stamp the Prairie Grass stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad to the left of the mask.
Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black memento ink over the mask.

Stamp the text stamp from the Elements of Text and the splatter images around the card creating a vintage look.

Place some embellishments around the card.

Now we will try the opposite masking.

Using the circle, brush with a Blending Brush outward with the Balmy Blue ink.
Stamp the same Prairie Grass image to the left of the mask. Stamp the sentiment over the mask. Place the embellishments around the sentiments.

Simple and elegant…

Try making a mask and creating a card with both the negative and positive shape! Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
