Throwback Thursday Party Puffins

 For today's card I was inspired by one that I saw on Google.  It showed a card using a technique that I'd forgotten about... shocking I know 😲. The technique is called the masking tape technique and I thought it would be fun to do with today's Part Puffins card.

So all you need are ink pads, masking tape ( also called painters tape) and cardstock.  Open your ink pad and tear a strip of  masking tape. Then gently place the tape onto the ink pad.

Next place the tape, ink side down, onto the piece of cardstock.  Now for my card I had stamped and masked one of the puffins onto my cardstock first.

Now gently remove the tape to reveal the colour on the cardstock.

Now you can do this as may times as you like. It makes a unique background every time which is such fun.

Once I'd applied the tape 3 times over my puffin I was ready to complete my card.

Next I added a few jewels and a sentiment and I was happy with my card.

I hope you are too and will give this simple way to create unique fun backgrounds a go.
