I live on a small island and every year there is a regatta with boats stalls, music, fair and fireworks, I have been going since I was a small child and it always feels like summer.
I'm using Lilypad Lake and the Under the Sea dies.

| Four layers in one go! |
I masked a rectangle on my whisper white layer with Scotch Painters tape and used a wavy die from Seasonal Layers Thinlit's to make a mask. Starting from the top of the paper I sponged my ink (in small circle movements) over the mask, moving the mask down until the paper was filled.
I love the happy bunting on my card, I fussy cut these out then glued them to my card, when dry I stitched over with my sewing machine. No sewing machine? You could leave as they are or make stitch marks with a pen.
On this bunting I used my sewing machine without the cotton for a different effect.
Sorry no tutorial video this month, I have been sorting and moving furniture in my craft area and have been unable to film! It's up and running as of today so watch out!

I love the cards, Linda! I live on a peninsula (Cape Cod, New England) on the Atlantic and your cards fit perfectly here as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, can't beat living near the sea.
DeleteFabulous card and love the tip on using the framelit for a mask.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley.
DeleteGreat cards Linda! I love the sponging for the background!
ReplyDeleteSponging is one of my favorite techniques, super quick and easy. Love your cards Linda!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards. I love the masking technique to create your background. They would both look amazing as framed art. :)
