I had never tried the Magic Masking Tape Technique and am sharing my first attempt at this simple but fun background. The challenge at Craft-room Challenge is to try something new, and the stamps are also being used for the first time on this card. Anything Goes at Sweet Stamps this week, and this card will also be entered there.
To create this background, you start with a piece of glossy paper and some low tack masking tape. Tear off a strip and push it into a dye ink pad so that it is covered with ink. Attach it to the glossy piece, then pull off. I did it in three shades of Distress Ink by Tim Holtz, but any ink will do. I know dye inks work, but maybe other types of ink do as well- it is always fun to experiment. After creating the background, I simply stamped the beautiful silhouette flower from Penny Black and added a sentiment. I layered the glossy piece on black and then a peach card.
Stamping smiles, Karen
