I colored the flowers using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers. I then took a circled shape of card stock and masked the center portion of the sentiment. I used a blending brush and CTMH Desert Sand ink to lightly blend around the mat including the flowers and circled card stock. Once I was finished I removed the circle and reveal the original color of the mat. This provided a nice highlight over the sentiment. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NbKZqi6dlb8bFsfBzZbHy1nWh27xXuSfi1kFKioW3-_-QuDoB6Aj3Xlr3gMyuPInKbWcwkv4cuFqf1BSLMnYh7rWSeotuO9mNmCGmkVPWmTNTPBh9HhmKKQiWcb-YN5srF8qTL8DLmP6ss-mD3yunTBpi14C0eDutB44apba_kt1tEzIoN6rkF5uSBrq/s640/0-9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6NbKZqi6dlb8bFsfBzZbHy1nWh27xXuSfi1kFKioW3-_-QuDoB6Aj3Xlr3gMyuPInKbWcwkv4cuFqf1BSLMnYh7rWSeotuO9mNmCGmkVPWmTNTPBh9HhmKKQiWcb-YN5srF8qTL8DLmP6ss-mD3yunTBpi14C0eDutB44apba_kt1tEzIoN6rkF5uSBrq/w400-h400/0-9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>How cool is this technique?

Of course I had to pair it with one of my favorite stamps, <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/calories-fall-out/" target="_blank">Calories Fall Out </a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAQGYKxKprBTY2QCxYNQkzzwVKPrTJvqhbGjtyEp3gAu508HbfLTtxJBQv3hgBqf3pHEvcqpZdXwNgrZ6yD8oSIALP4gu7x1PDEx6Ud7nWBJeFUf_9frN-mLn9lGcvjH8OxwCzq_7gAOMEJPFuhSR1X_wXLPF6lwEg0BS7NJJdg6WnsCFty34q5j0gMO8/s640/0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAQGYKxKprBTY2QCxYNQkzzwVKPrTJvqhbGjtyEp3gAu508HbfLTtxJBQv3hgBqf3pHEvcqpZdXwNgrZ6yD8oSIALP4gu7x1PDEx6Ud7nWBJeFUf_9frN-mLn9lGcvjH8OxwCzq_7gAOMEJPFuhSR1X_wXLPF6lwEg0BS7NJJdg6WnsCFty34q5j0gMO8/w400-h400/0.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>To create this card I used the masking technique. I stamped the center cupcake and masked it allowing me to add the cupcake on the right and left hand side. <div><br /></div><div>I colored the cupcakes using Karin Brushmarkers. I added a few colored dots which coordinated with the colors of the cupcakes. The final touch was adding a few bitty sparkles in the stars surrounding the sentiment. </div><div><br /></div><div>Check out the February release <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/february-2024-new-stamp-release/" target="_blank">HERE</a> and if you Gotta Have It All click <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/february-2024-gotta-have-it-all/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.

I stamped and fussy cut out the crown image from the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/black-queen/" target="_blank">Black Queen</a> stamp set which is also apart of this FAB release. The sentiment from the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/little-girls-set-of-3/" target="_blank">Little Girls</a> stamp paired very well with this image. I heat embossed it in white and placed it at the base of the image.

This help me determine my color scheme. In this case I used Scrappy Boy - A 70's Family paper pack. </li><li>I stamped the <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/find-yourself/" target="_blank">Find Yourself </a>stamp 3 different times. 1. The full image on white card stock. 2. The top portion of the stamp on a smaller piece of white card stock with the focus being the 3 flowers. 3. The bottom portion of the image capturing the words "Find yourself and be that" on black card stock using Versamark. I heat embossed with white embossing powder. </li><li>Using the first full image I stamped, I masked the image using the piece of paper that comes on the back of the stamp. </li><li>I used the <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/corners-stencil/" target="_blank">Corners Stencil </a>and Candied Apple Distress Oxide to make a background. Upon peeling back the stencil I went over the background using the ink I had left on the blending brush removing the stark white lines. </li><li>I then cut the card stock using The Stamp Market, Postage Stamp die. </li><li>I last minute decided to add some black splatters using a black shimmer pen. </li><li>I adhered the layers as you see in the picture. </li><li>I colored the face of the image and flowers using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers. </li><li>I fussy cut the flowers and adhered them to the image using 3-D foam tape. I used a white gel pen adding accents on the flower and across the eye lid. </li><li>I cut out 3 strips of the sentiment I had previously heat embossed and adhered it to the same spot on the image. </li><li>To finish off the card I added a few clear dot gems. You can't see them well in the picture nor the sparkle on the flowers however it is so pretty! </li></ul><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9IuqaXbQ_ubgXAVrmRKmt2vpROzXFxYWf_epOyBLkR78lowWMkiTW-W0Jk15aIgJnDE4myh3EGIA_NfLe0MSoDiX1tVyhqDr6o0JVCkZGTP5kJWy7NkbbQl-rNXvYNBfDRDqDOGQWGot7Ue2CGAulDCDgNqCcD0LJkUa-agcPyIAQufGTtRNzPmG0sbRM/s640/0-31.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9IuqaXbQ_ubgXAVrmRKmt2vpROzXFxYWf_epOyBLkR78lowWMkiTW-W0Jk15aIgJnDE4myh3EGIA_NfLe0MSoDiX1tVyhqDr6o0JVCkZGTP5kJWy7NkbbQl-rNXvYNBfDRDqDOGQWGot7Ue2CGAulDCDgNqCcD0LJkUa-agcPyIAQufGTtRNzPmG0sbRM/w300-h400/0-31.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The below card was very similar with a few differences.

If so I highly encourage you to grab the newly released <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/the-bottle-wont-open/" target="_blank">The Bottle Won't Open</a> stamp set!

I knew I wanted to use red/cranberry as my main colors with a hint of green to color the leaves. </li><li>I cut a piece of patterned paper as well as white card stock using a nested deckled edge die. I adhered the patterned paper to the card base and the white card stock to the patterned paper. </li><li>The sentiment is from the November Release stamp set, <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/the-bottle-wont-open/" target="_blank">The Bottle Won't Open</a>. You can either mask the sentiment or cut the stamp. I am a cutter so I tend to cut stamps. I know I am fearless! LOL The great thing is you put it back together like a puzzle piece. </li><li>I stamped the portion of the sentiment that read "I'm trying to get in the Holiday Spirit". I colored the banner and leaves using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers. </li><li>The sentiment was paired with the <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/gnome-for-christmas-set-of-6/" target="_blank">Gnome for Christmas </a>stamp set. Isn't the Gnome beyond cute??!!</li><li>The Gnome image was stamped in black ink onto the white mat and then again on a scrap piece of white card stock. I colored the image, fussy cut it out and adhered it over the stamped image with 3-D foam tape adding dimension. </li><li>The cuffs at the end of the gnomes shirt was colored with Stickles to add flair. </li><li>I added a few bitty sparkles to round out this card. </li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizCbqmV_HTr3l7rE0_JaDGgSocA3pwEIvCy7VJ0txJ5jFvTm9XJykpQKQiLEFgJJm9nQfxrINBW1GvxdgSCHFFBEavlCTsaFBfpiP9fjEGjMZRDsPfJYjauM7MMXN-GT0dsVfSAlkbhcv_cttbCoEjqH2BkebQJ9xq1_C5F7GPel9Tgzhlgv3Ps3udVHw/s640/0-23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizCbqmV_HTr3l7rE0_JaDGgSocA3pwEIvCy7VJ0txJ5jFvTm9XJykpQKQiLEFgJJm9nQfxrINBW1GvxdgSCHFFBEavlCTsaFBfpiP9fjEGjMZRDsPfJYjauM7MMXN-GT0dsVfSAlkbhcv_cttbCoEjqH2BkebQJ9xq1_C5F7GPel9Tgzhlgv3Ps3udVHw/w300-h400/0-23.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Isn't he cute?! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiue9YfOsdxZ-EkR8oSx42gbtZRr_dKINf0otDc4swxHMaIwH5QYaiyhJM7fmV79QRTIs4E9tuQ82MFe85dOX3DexAvENgkS5u5SM3sRPWp88PrB7nh1XqPx61bTlwubX4A3WxySt5mOxv4xgBsG1ff7Rl6Twob7qg0rbt8L80YfIoipcgn8TiPCTzk9qw/s640/0-24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiue9YfOsdxZ-EkR8oSx42gbtZRr_dKINf0otDc4swxHMaIwH5QYaiyhJM7fmV79QRTIs4E9tuQ82MFe85dOX3DexAvENgkS5u5SM3sRPWp88PrB7nh1XqPx61bTlwubX4A3WxySt5mOxv4xgBsG1ff7Rl6Twob7qg0rbt8L80YfIoipcgn8TiPCTzk9qw/w300-h400/0-24.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you for stopping by!

If you would like to recreate this card do the following: </div><div class="separator" style="background-color: #fafafa; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue Light", HelveticaNeue-Light, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><ul style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 0px 2em;"><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I stamped <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/the-bottle-wont-open/" target="_blank">The Bottle Won't Open</a> and <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/it-takes-a-village/" target="_blank">It Takes A Village</a> stamp sets in black on a piece of white card stock. (I cut away the sentiment to the <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/it-takes-a-village/" target="_blank">It Takes A Village</a> stamp set).</li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I masked the sentiment for both stamp sets using the white paper backing that comes on the back of the stamp set. (this works great as it closely resembles the shape of the image). </li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I then placed the Multi Dots Stencil on top of the images and secured the stencil using masking tape around all four sides. </li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I applied CTMH Sangria ink to my blending brush and worked around the stencil using a circular motion.</li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">When I was done applying the ink I removed the stencil. I cut the card stock using Rubbernecker Nested Deckled Rectangle die. </li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I then went around the edge of the mat with the remaining ink on the blending brush. This added a soft sangria color to the edges and really made the images pop. </li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I colored in the images of T<a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/the-bottle-wont-open/" target="_blank">he Bottle Won't Open</a> stamp using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers. </li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I then stamped the <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/it-takes-a-village/" target="_blank">It Takes A Village</a> stamp in Sangria. I fussy cut out the wine flowing from the bottle into the wine glass and adhered it on top of the wine bottle image mirroring the wine flowing out the glass. This truly made it look like a red wine flowing out of the bottle. </li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I used a grey marker to line the wine bottle and wine glass. </li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">I adhered the mat to the A2 card base. </li><li style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">To finish up the card I added gold glitter gem embellishments. </li></ul></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvdzRYGJixbKZRDXbHNUdhpSm-KmzkKnnzsydtpEqzQPANQAeazTomaviqe6yEha5wPoZdckj9jzIg_gJCVZVSxjCimnBpKnI8KiKN2PSTkmiAcs16Om323VmmTw29_Kd865tiaaKpugyHbcaANUJLSDBLWdzR6oFRm4g8JS3_K5fElRnKOFHPtypsFUsJ/s640/0-20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvdzRYGJixbKZRDXbHNUdhpSm-KmzkKnnzsydtpEqzQPANQAeazTomaviqe6yEha5wPoZdckj9jzIg_gJCVZVSxjCimnBpKnI8KiKN2PSTkmiAcs16Om323VmmTw29_Kd865tiaaKpugyHbcaANUJLSDBLWdzR6oFRm4g8JS3_K5fElRnKOFHPtypsFUsJ/w480-h640/0-20.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>I love paper piecing.

I colored in the image using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers. </li><li style="text-align: left;">I used the paper attached to the back of the stamp as my mat, laying it over the stamped image and using the <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/paint-splashes-set-of-3/" target="_blank">Paint Splashes</a> stamp set to build a fun background around the gnomes. Distressed Oxide, Mowed Lawn and Candied Apple ink was used. </li><li style="text-align: left;">I then cut the card stock using Scrappy Boy, Wonky Rectangle Die. I placed the mat on top of a piece of CTMH patterned paper which was cut A2 size. </li><li style="text-align: left;">The sentiment is from the <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/christmas-blessings/" target="_blank">Christmas Blessings</a> stamp set. It was heat embossed white, fussy cut and popped up on 3-D foam tape. </li><li style="text-align: left;">I added a few CTMH Bitty Sparkles and Snow Marker on the pom pom on the hat. I heated the snow marker and it gave it a puffy look. Super cool new item I tried out. </li></ul></div><div class="separator" style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); clear: both; color: #333333; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpIqknxdT4jFBV94zFJfQ0KRoMin6h0Lc_wyL4mnzYYK96eDIbjt8QJgdNvFKLsOO7zjluxESY1nTIA4-8mOMF1SKQIEG5PstctkBynHLzndbRNUnwbnd7PRk-Ww_4AqhnfiuxiiO1CqGhsnl9IvLa00ACIyogZ1cE1_8YHrFgx1xIzgOygPuV54qPSTGJ/s640/0-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpIqknxdT4jFBV94zFJfQ0KRoMin6h0Lc_wyL4mnzYYK96eDIbjt8QJgdNvFKLsOO7zjluxESY1nTIA4-8mOMF1SKQIEG5PstctkBynHLzndbRNUnwbnd7PRk-Ww_4AqhnfiuxiiO1CqGhsnl9IvLa00ACIyogZ1cE1_8YHrFgx1xIzgOygPuV54qPSTGJ/w480-h640/0-13.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my second card:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><ul><li style="text-align: left;">I cut out a mat using Taylored Expressions Mini Slimline dies. </li><li style="text-align: left;">I wanted this card to be a shaker so I used 3-Foam strips to pop up the die cut which I placed acetate over the areas that would be visible as a shaker.

Since the theme was a train riding to the North Pole, I decided due to the length of the train to go with a slimline card.

I literally colored a long rectangle and dabbed it with a piece of paper towel I wet with ink blender solution. It resulted in a speckled look as it removed some of the color.
