STAMPlorations CASEplorations August

Hey everyone!  It's time for another CASEplorations over at STAMPlorations!  We've got a fabulous designer this month that we are CASEing.  It's Vijaylaxmi Siyal (Shalu) of All By Heart Creations.
Just take a look....

Isn't it awesome?  Bold and beautiful.  I loved the bright red against the black and white stripes.  That was my inspiration for my card.  Check it out....



First, I stamped my flowers (Blooming Buds set) masking where it was needed.  Then I created masks to cover the flowers and using some washi tape I created my stripes by sponging on black ink fading it out on the one side.  I removed the masks and then created the negative version of the flower masks to protect the background.  Then I sponged on Abandoned Coral and Spiced Marmalade Distress ink to colour in my flowers.  I added some gold with a Pentel marker to the stamens of the flowers.  Once the masks were removed, I stamped the sentiment (Strong Women set) in black ink.  I really love how this turned out.  It's a lot of masking but so worth it.

So, I hope you'll all pop on by the main blog and check out all the fabulous cards by the DT and remember there are prizes to be won too!

Have a fantastic day and thanks for dropping by!

  8. Oh that color!!!! And to pair it with fading black stripes (must admit I thought they were mirrored and reflecting funny in the photo). So glad I came by to see how you'd created this beauty.
