A Little Bit of Masking | Ink Blot Shop

Sometimes you have to be a bit strategic. Don’t get me wrong, I love to mask to create fun scene cards, but sometimes I don’t want to cut. Here, I placed my crafty hearts in the card panel space without needed to mask too much of my image.

What’s your favorite colored foil? For me — I can’t resist the rainbow foil especially when it’s a ton of images in one. I just want a ton of color in this card and it works so well with the blue glossy cardstock! It foils like a dream!

Colorful Elements | Honey Bee Stamps

I always want to add color to my cards and whenever I get a chance, I’m going to do it. I wanted a variety of color among these lure dies. Even though there are layers, I kept with my color combos to make it cohesive but honestly, you can pick contrasting colors as well. You just can’t go wrong here!

Vellum Accent | Trinity Stamps

I really wanted to use this one leafy image to fill up a background and I chose gold on navy but then, it was such a contrasting background that I needed to tone it down a bit. By just pulling out a piece of vellum, it allows me to let the focal image of this card to really stand out!

Pattern Paper Background | Honey Bee Stamps

I love my scene cards and as you know, they do take a bit of time. Imagine my surprise when I opened this new paper pad from Honey Bee Stamps… it has a ton of pieces that are perfect for a quick and easy background. It’s usually not my kinda thing but I just couldn’t resist. Plus they make for such a quick card once you stamp and die cut out your images. So fun!

Embossed Ink Blending | Honey Bee Stamps

Is there a crafty technique that you’ve avoided? For me, it’s been 3D embossing folders — but not anymore! I just never took the time to figure out how they worked and I couldn’t ever remember the sandwich combination for them. I also really like coloring and usually with the folders, you just don’t need to. I had to bring my own flair to it and used rainbow colors to create this pretty simple card! Check out how it came together below!
