Moment by Moment

Good Morning

Meet today's card. 

I haven't done a collage style card in awhile so today was the day.

Here's what I did to create my card.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and placed the Deckled Rectangle mask over it.  This mask gives a nice torn edge without me having to tear paper and stick it down. 

Using my Tombow markers, I coloured directly onto the Beaux Iris flower stamp, sprayed with water and stamped. I wanted the flower to be the focal point in the center of my card.  Next, using a variety of stamps, I proceed to fill in the background using the same technique using different coloured markers.  When I was happy with the layout, I sponged in the border using some Barn Door DOX ink.

I simply mounted that onto a piece of coordinating coloured cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Moments in Time

Good Morning

As I have mentioned in some of my previous posts, I am really trying to use some of the panels I have created that were stuck away in my stash.  

This is one I pulled out the other day and wanted to finish it up by making a card.  

So onto my card details.

The background was created using the Messy Dot Grid stencil that I inked up with some Festive Berries Distress Oxide inks, sprayed with water and pressed onto my cardstock panel creating a monoprint.

As I looked at the panel, I decided to give it more interest, so I added some stenciling using the Simple Grid stencil and rubbed over that with some Broken China and some Peacock Feathers DOX ink.

I love these clock stamps by Tim Holtz, inked them with some Versafine ink and stamped them to the side of the panel.  I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment.

I mounted the piece onto some white cardstock, then a piece of red, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Here are the stencils I used:
