Masking welly boots

 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

Enduring Beauty

 Today’s card was an attempt at watercolouring.

I enjoyed the process, but wish I’d used different colours, 

and watercolour paper instead of white cardstock.

The die cuts the whole arrangement, but I felt it needed something else, 

so I used a circle stencil to ink a background.

A few sequins for added sparkle

Hope you have a lovely day
