Stampin' Up! Tip and technique Friends of the Forest

 Hello and welcome,

Today I wanted to share with you my latest tip and technique by using the faux masking technique with Blending Brushes and Grid Paper. I've used the Friends of the Forest Stamp Set which is in the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue January to June 2022.

Create a faux torn paper look by tearing up Grid Paper and using it as a mask over Basic White Cardstock. Apply ink to the Cardstock with Blending Brushes. Here I've used Balmy Blue for the sky and Old Olive for the ground.

Add stamped images and then remove the Grid Paper. Complete your project as desired. Here I've used Watercolor Pencils and Clear Wink of Stella to colour in the stamped images and then fussy cut out using the Paper Snips. 

I've used the following colours Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and Cajun Craze for the tree. Real Red and Basic Gray for the toad stools. Daffodil Delight and Old Olive for the daisies. Basic Gray and Melon Mambo for the rabbit. 

To finish off the card I added White Baker's Twine to the panel and greeting is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. The panel is layered over Old Olive Cardstock for the card base.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I would so love hear your thoughts on my project by leaving a comment below.
