Something Saturday - Citrus Blooms

 Hi There Creators Today I thought it would be fun to try out a technique I haven't done in ages - Paper Tole, using the new Citrus Blooms stamp set and dies.  Every so often I come across a stamp set that inspires me to do a spot of Paper Tole'ing, and this one has lots of dimension to it perfect for this technique. To those of you who are saying "Paper Tole-what-ing?"  Paper Tole is a way of taking a picture and literally adding dimension by having several images of the same picture a and cutting out the various parts of it and laying them up, so the picture literally builds up and gives a 3D type image. I thought it would make a beautiful framed piece (and a nice gift for a friend) - let me know what you think....

Something Saturday - Let's Mask Again

 Hi there Creators, 

This week I am showing off these new Artistic Mix Decorative Masks.  I love the way you can layer them up, and create a heap of different looks (they're actually even better than I thought they were!)  and at only $17.50 a bit of a bargain!  I used my blending brushes to brush the colour over them onto the card.

In the video I show off creating backgrounds with them, but don't show off the finished cards, so here we go...... they are actually very simple cards just with a bit of ribbon and the odd embellishment, only 2 of them actually have extra cardstock - the Christmas one uses the Label Me Lovely Punch, and the blue one at the top of the second photo just uses 2 cut squares.  The others are all stamped directly on top of the masking (I like economical card-making 😉)

You might remember the Wisteria Wishes stamp set I've been using recently?  this first card uses the flowers upside down to create trees to make a Christmas card (never too early to create Christmas cards!)
