Any One Encouragement Card

I saw an old video from one of my Favorite Crafty You Tubers where she masked off a stamped image and applied some ink to create a fun halo around the image.

I looked threw my Lawn Fawn stamps and found Monster Mash and had the cordinating dies as well.

 Heavy Weight white card stock from Hobby Lobby and some Sizzix banner dies.

 2X2 sized masking paper that I cut out the two monsters using their cordinating dies.

I can save the negative and re use them.

I will place them in the stamp pocket.

 Hampton Art Stamp Perfect Tool to stamp two at a time.

I was going to make two of each card and ended up messing one up so I got three cards in the end.

 This is the first time I stamped, the beauty of a stamp tool is you can re stamp as long as you have your paper in the same spot.

 These are the copic markers that I used.

No fancy technique.

 All done and pretty cute and not an ounce of scary.

 I place the negative section over the image and then added the mask on top.

 This will give the perfect amount of white around the border of the image.

Antique Linen distress ink and a ink blending tool to add a light layer of ink.

Start light and work up, you can always add more but you cant take away.

Tada, the magic when you remove the mask.

 All done, I kinda wished I used a yellow distress ink like Squeezed Lemonade but oh well next time.

The yellow would have made it brighter.

 I used a Cricut embossing folder to create a fun embossed background.

Its called Spots & Dots.

 I used Tombow Mono Liquid glue and Stampin UP dimensionals on the back of the banner.

 Here is the stamp set, its a small size but it packs a big punch.

 The cordinating dies.

 They match up perfectly and cut out all the images, the little heart will work for both the solid and outline heart.

All done

 This is Bazzill card stock in the color Candy Necklace

 I used Stampin Up Bermuda Bay ink to stamp the envelope and inside and back of the card.

 This blue envelope matched the card stock perfectly and got it from Hobby Lobby their brand.

This is Stampin UP Elegant Eggplant card stock that is sadly being Retired this year at the end of June 2018.

 This is Bazzill card stock in the color Whirlypop.

How cool is that name.

I used Stampin up ink in Elegant Eggplant and Night of Navy.
