Family is Forever (#S1409) - September Stamp of the Month

After seeing so many samplings of this technique...I just had to try it for myself!  Love it!!!  So simple to do, and so effective in presentation!  It's the masking tape technique, although you want to use painters tape (we had the blue type on hand)...it works perfectly.

Simply tear off a piece of tape, run it over your ink pad sticky side down, then transfer the ink from the tape to your cardstock...easy peasy!  I kept one piece of tape for each color, until I was completely finished with the mass production of this card.  The ink colors I used were Lagoon, Sorbet, and Flaxen.  I also liked the way Glacier worked for the sky, although I was restricted to color choices since we had to stay within the colors of the paper pack for our swap.

The card measures 5x7 and it's the Midpoint pattern found on page 77 in Wishes Card Confidence Program.  The card base is our new Flaxen cardstock (loving this color!), and I used the patterned paper from Chalk It Up.  My embellishments include: Black Striped Twill ribbon, Gold Sequins, a small puffy heart from the Chalk It Up assortment, and an arrow charm from our Base & Bling product line.   The charm is tied to the ribbon with a small piece of bakers twine tied into a knot.   I absolutely LOVE embellishing artwork with the charms!   The sentiment is popped using our 3D foam tape, then for the finishing touch...I doodled around the edge of the card base with our black journaling pen.
