Very Versailles & masking technique

Hi stamping friends,

I have been using the masking technique again on this card.




I used the larger heart from the Bouquet Of Love Dies (#157641) to cut a piece of scrap card and a piece of photocopy paper. This can be done at the same time. These were used for the masks. I placed the piece of scrap card with the heart cut out onto the Basic White card front (#159228). I used Polished Pink ink (#155712) and a Blending Brush (#153611) to create the heart. I removed the scrap card and replaced it with the photocopy paper as this is thinner and is a better mask when stamping. (See below).  I stamped the verse from the Very Versailles stamp set (#149275) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) on top of the heart.





Then I placed the heart from the photocopy paper over the pink heart and stamped the foliage also from the Very Versailles stamp set onto the card with Pear Pizzaz ink (#147104).




Next I dry embossed the card front with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718), then matted it with Polished Pink card (#155711) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The smallest heart was cut with a Sweet Heart die (#157623) and the other heart with a die from Bouquet Of Love. I used Polished Pink card for both these hearts. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the larger heart to the card and a Mini Glue Dot (#103683) for the small heart.  The Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper (#158068) was attached to the card front. “Happy Anniversary” from Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) was stamped with Polished Pink ink and cut with another die from Bouquet Of Love, then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The embellishments are the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#158130).

TIP: When stamping & dry embossing the card front, stamp first then emboss. If you emboss first you won’t get a good stamped image because of the uneven surface.
