Impression Obsession DT Challenge: The gift of friendship

The Impression Obsession team's challenge today is to create a project that celebrates friendship.

This is a card I created for the recent CHA Paper Arts Show - the main panel is a single layer of watercolor paper, masked with Frog Tape, which is pretty amazing stuff! If you go to look for it at your hardware store, look for the roll that is yellow and designed for delicate surfaces. There was hardly any seeping of water or paint under the edge, and it pulled away from the paper very easily.


I stamped along the edge of the mask with Small Rose Bouquet and used Distress Markers and a waterbrush to color them in and add some more color to the base. I stamped lightly with Cover-A-Card Broken Chainlink, holding the stamp slightly curved in my hand to just stamp in a few places.


The word stamps are HERE and HERE.

  7. Gorgeous card, Dina! I saw that broken chainlink stamp & thought, "I'd never use that." Guess what has moved up to the top of my wish list! LOL
