Valentine cards and challenges

This blogpost is a combination of 2 challenges.

The Club Scrap masking tape technique challenge

and the Cupcake Inspiration Blog challenge.

I made two cards with differnt ways of using the masking tape.

With the first technique you add color to the card with the

masking tape. I took 3 colors of red/pink and put a

piece of masking tape on the ink pas.

Put the masking tape on the card and take it of again.

The masking tape leaves a pattern of color. Don't

press to hard on the masking tape or it will peal

of paper from the card too.

Then i took the heart stamps from the Club Scrap

Crewel & Unusual unmounted rubber and stamped

these with the same inks to create a background.

Here is the finished background.

For the next masking tape technique,

I used the tape to cover a part of the card

where I did not want any ink.

I colored with the same inks the part of card

that was not covered with the masking tape.

After coloring I stamped with the same inks a heart pattern

on the colored part,leaving the masking tape on.

After removing the masking tape  I stamped the word love

and added the little cupcake. This is punched with the

cupcake builder from Stampin'Up!. The woodsie arrow

is from the Club Scrap Navigation kit and the little gemstone

heart is from my stash.

Thanks for looking

and have a lovely Valentine's Day!

Have a creative day!
