For my creation, I decided to pick up the beautiful Anemones stamp set AND, I was dying to try a new technique. I saw this on SCS but did this one with a friend who is a Stampin' Up Demo. It's called Magical Masking Tape and I have to say -- I LOVE the fact that you can do this quickly and add a bold splash of color. HERE'S a great tutorial the ever so talented Beate Johns did not too long ago.
So, just like the tutorial suggests, I picked five colors of ink, laid my masking tape down on the ink and then used the masking tape as a kind of stamp! Because of the sticky portion of the tape, you naturally get voids in the ink transfer, which makes this look so very cool! After I was done, I stamped the Anemones in Versafine Black Onyx, added a sentiment, punched a hole for my ribbon tied up with a bow, added some bling and then matted it on Classic Black and then a lighter teal from the Emerald Coast Collection (you can hardly see the blue but trust me -- it's there!
Here's a close up so that you can see the fun effect!
And that, my friends, is it! This is really a 10 minute creation. The hardest part was picking out the colors and I didn't even have to do that since my friend who showed me this technique did that for me! ;-)
