3M ATG Tape 1/4" General Use
If you use alot of tape, there is a knock-off brand out there. I've used it and it is only ok....
I'd finished the other cards and did not feel like I'd explored all of the options with this flower set. I really wanted to do a sponged masked CAS style card. I thought these bold flowers would look nice over a sponged background, but I did not want to do my typical full sponged background.
Daring myself to be different, I masked leaving a 2" vertical strip of space (I discovered that we have no painter's tape in the trailer so instead I used rectangular shaped post it notes). I sponged sky using Distress Ink Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky. I purposefully left the top and bottom unmasked, envisioning the sponging feathering to nothing.
The stems were stamped with Distress Ink Bundled Sage and for the flowers I chose one of my new metallic Brilliance inks Crimson Copper that actually dries a metallic plum. I color matched the flowers with recollections cardstock. I toyed with making the sentiment navy or plum, but felt brave and I stamped it with the metallic Crimson Copper. I did not feel the need for any embellishments with this card.
I am entering this project in the following challenges:

I have invested in all distress ink colors. I use the one inch pads with reinkers to save on...
