CAS-ual Fridays Stamps: Just Thinking About You

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday :)

Today I am sharing a card made with some of my most favorite supplies: I used stamps from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps' "Beanstalks" set inked up with Memento resp. Memento Luxe inks from IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko.

I did a little bit of masking (die cut a circle from masking tape and affixed it to the lower right of the front panel) and spritzed the white panel with some of the brand new colored texture sprays "irRESISTible" from IMAGINE Crafts. Just love the versatility of this stuff and the awesome colors it comes in...

But what is the loveliest background worth, without an appropriate focal point? ;-)
Therefore I just had to pull out a stamp set from my most favorite stamp company: CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and use it on this card :)

The sentiment was stamped in orange (to create a contrast to all the blues and greens on the card). The foliage was stamped in black, colored with Memento markers and then the right part of it was cut out -trimming closely- to adhere it to the card, allowing it to slightly overlap the white panel).

Please refer to the grey boxes below this post for detailed written step-by-step instructions!


And there is also a VIDEO tutorial available on how I did the masking technique and sprayed the irRESISTibles! Check out my YouTube channel for more video tutorials...

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope to see you here on my blog again, soon :)
