Life Is Art

Happy Tuesday!  On the Great Impressions Blog today!

Back again today with a happy little card!

 

I absolutely LOVE this sentiment, E792 Life Is Art.   I wanted the sentiment to stand out, so I made a background using the Masking Tape Technique;  placing masking tape on your ink pad and smoothing down, then applying the inked tape to your card stock.  I wanted to make you feel that this creation was a piece of art hanging on a wall.  Ribbon and little bows and pearl accents.

 

Still a little bit of time to get in on our Monthly Challenge, To Use Your Favorite Stamp!  And when you use your favorite Great Impressions stamp link it right to our Customer Gallery, where at the end of the year you could win some fabulous prizes just for being a loyal customer!

 

Thanks for coming by!

Spooky

Here's a fun little Halloween card for the Curtain Call Challenge, Spooky Scene.  This is a simple card using the masking tape technique.   Place strips of masking tape directly on your ink pad, rub smooth, then place the tape on your card stock, rubbing smooth again.  Once lifted it leaves this awesome worn patch of ink.  Of course for a Halloween card I used black and orange, but I have seen and used pretty pastels and that looks so beautiful too, it really makes a lovely background!  Try It!!!

The background paper is one of the special assortments sold in those "pounder packs", typically found around the various Holidays.  After using the masking tape I cut it out using Spellbinders die, Labels 2.  I also cut out a spider web using my Cameo, drawing lines on top of the web design using a Sakura glitter pen.  Added a criss-cross ribbon treatment to add a little "something", adhesive pearls in black and orange and a teeny black spider on top of the web.  BOO!!! 

 

Hope you enjoyed today's post.

 

And may all your trick n' treats be happy ones!
