Inking with Tape Splitcoaststampers Technique Challenge

My good friend, Karen (Snippets) is hosting Splitcoaststampers 
Technique Lover's Challenge this week.  The challenge date is always open.

Karen's challenge is "Inking with Tape".  Be sure and check out her blog for the photo
tutorial. Here is the SCS Challenge Link too for the gallery of samples.

Here is my "Inking with Tape" Card!  


I wanted a white border,  so masked off the edge of my Strathmore Bristol paper
using 3M Masking Tape.

Next came the fun of using a small piece of same masking tape to stamp
background with Distress Oxide Inks: Antique Linen, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber,
Spiced Marmalade and Worn Lipstick.

I then used my TH Spritzer to spritz water on my inks for a 
more blended look.  Let Dry.

Then die cut my layer with CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die.

Placed my layer in my MISTI and stamped using my new STAMPlorations 
"Create Your Own Sunshine" sentiment,  which is a stamp from the new
 "Say It Big" Collection.

I added a rhinestone to the i and Wink of Stella to the sentiment.  Popped up
on fun foam and attached to SU Whisper White Thick Card Base and Done!

Such a Quick and Easy CAS design.  I really liked the results too.

Thank you Karen for a fun, new to me technique, my friend.  Hugs....

  6. I'm intrigued by this technique after seeing this and visiting Karen, as well. You achieved a whole different look by spritzing. Pretty both ways! Sounds so easy, too. I will definitely want to try it. Thanks!
