Christmas Friends

 A quick post and a quick card using the cute Christmas Friends stamp set today. 

It all starts by creating a mask for the character of choice, in this case the owl. Making a mask is where you stamp the image on to a piece of making paper or as in this case stamping along  the edge closest to the sticky part of a sticky note. Then fussy cut the image out along the stamped edge. Next stamp the same image where you want it placed on your cardstock mat. Use the mask to cover the image. 

Then apply ink using a blending tool over the masked area and beyond as desired. You can then also add splatters of ink to add further interest to the mat.

Then remove the mask and uncover your stamped image and colour as desired. 

The colour of the blending on this card is a pretty soft lilac called fresh freesia.  Not your typical Christmas colour but certainly eye catching 😉

 

I had to add another cheeky owl to the inside of the card. Do you decorate inside your cards?

The appropriate sentiment from the stamp set and a few sequins to match his pink hat and the card was complete.
