CONGRATULATIONS

 

Okay, so the mask I used is are retired however, I bought them and had never used them so I thought I would try one out to see if I liked using it.  As it turns out, I loved it as did my customers.  So I will be purchasing the new ones in the  2022 Annual Catalog.  

If you are interested, they are on page 128 and they are called Artistic Mix Decorative Masks (159178 $10 for a set of 4) Check them out!

You can also use them with embossing pastes for a more textured appearance.  I may have to try that next.  Have fun.

CONGRATULATIONS

YOUR STRENGTH IS AN INSPIRATION

 

I find that the different colors of waves that you can create with this stamp are breathtaking. You can play with Pacific Point maybe a touch of Night of Navy. Water is so peaceful and beautiful to me and this stamp captures a wave beautifully. I like the simple elegance of this card. 

YOUR STRENGTH IS AN INSPIRATION


HOW TO ASSEMBLE:

    1.    Run the large piece of white cardstock in the seashell embossing folder through the embossing machine. Adhere to your card front.

    2.  Take the smaller piece of white cardstock and place on the Stamparatus.  Start by inking the wave in Coastal Cabana and stamp the cardstock.

    3.  Using the daubers, add different shades to the stamp. And re stamp the wave.

    4.  (optional) Do the same on the flap of your envelope.

    5.   Stamp your sentiment on the card front in the color of your choice.

    6.   Adhere this to the piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock then adhere it to the card front using Dimensionals.

    7.   Stamp other sentiment on the inside.
