The first thing I did with a white card stock panel was to place some of that purple tape along a line that would mask off the area I wanted to sponge color onto. Once that was done I sponged on Gina K. Designs Coral Reef, Wild Dandelion and Dusty Rose inks. Then I placed this panel into my MISTI and proceeded to stamp the floral design and sentiments with Versafine black ink. The stamps I used are all from the Gina K. Designs Today & Always set by Lisa Hetrick. I also added some black polka dots using the stamped design from that same stamp set on the white area. Along the polka dotted area I used a Die'Sire Die called Beatrice to create that wonderful scalloped edge. I also placed a strip of black card stock down the middle of the card between the stamped and die cut area to give a more finished look before adding it to a Coral Reef card stock base. Inside the card I added a panel of white to which I had stamped some of those black dots to tie it in with the outer design. And that my friends completes my card I did today.
Well, I hope the sun is shining for you. We did enjoy some here so that was very uplifting for a change. Have a great week everyone and thanks for the visits.
God bless,
