Hi there, I’m getting my roller skates on to get into the
Snippets Playground before the gates clang shut!
Here’s my homework……
I set myself the challenge of the masking technique, and got out some old sets….
so old they had matching punches too! Not that I used them much with this card
I stamped the boots, then stamped them again on a sticky note,
Carefully cut it out, so I could use the positive and negative.
Covered the boots to stamp the brolly,
then replaced the mask with the negative aperture to stamp the flowers.
I had to separate the boots so I could stamp flowers on one boot at a time.
I then used some scrap paper to make a sun (punched a circle),
then covered that to ink the sky, using another scrap to ink the ground.
I then used another scrap so I could ink through the umbrella (similar to the boots).
Phew, I hope Sarn has got some bacon sarnies left when I turn up at the treehouse!
I’ll have to apologise to miss Di for throwing some snippets in the bin that were, shall we say,
a bit soiled, and therefore I couldn’t take a pic!
Do visit the Snippets Playground and join in the fun,
I think there’ll be a new challenge tomorrow too.
Have a super day
Lesley

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and leave your comments.
Wow, quite a bit of work went into this apparently simple card. Very clever masking going on here, quite a feat to cut such a small mask neatly enough to be able to use positive and negative. Hope you managed to get a bacon sarnie 😊. Love the finished card.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this pretty card formed with some brilliant masking and stamping.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. Yep - got a bacon sarnie all ready and waiting for you in the Treehouse Breakfast Club! Ketchup or brown sauce???? Xxx
Wonderful card Lesley - and what a smashing technique you used too for the wellies! One to remember here.

Wow, Lesley, You did a great job masking. The boots are so cute with the flowers on them. I can never figure out which one to use the mask on and have to try it first to get it right! A perfect sentiment with this image.
ReplyDeleteClever planning Lesley and a stunning result! LOVE those floral wellies... mine are decorated with a selection of different muds!! Hope you are enjoying the real sunshine, Vicky xxx
