Taylored Expressions January Challenge #2

 

Can you believe it is almost the end of January? How time flies. This month I had a weekend in Charlotte to see the Oprah 2020 Vision Tour and last weekend I had a painting retreat with my local Chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters. Chris Haughey of Cupboard Distributing was our teacher and lots of fun!

But let me tell you about this very special card. A bit snarky, the Grumplings just are, but it would be great for just the right person. I created it for the January #TEMakerchallenge using round masking and grey.

I believe I mentioned this in a previous blog, but these Taylored Expression Masking Stencils as so cool to work with positive, negative or in between!

I use a bit of repositionable adhesive to hold the large circle mask onto a piece of 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Bristol Smooth card stock. Next using Wendy Vecchi's Mark Art Station I placed the Studio Katia brick stencil at an angle over the Bristol Smooth card stock. The magnets that come with the Make Art Station holds it all perfectly. Simple ink blending with Scrapbook.com's domed ink blending tool and Simon Hurley's Woof!:

The little raccoon was colored with Kuretake Zigs Real Color Brush Markers and then cut with the coordinating die. He was popped with the foam tape. The sentiment from the Mr. & Mrs. Grumplings set was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. The inside is from Waffle Flower's Congrats stamp set.

Here are the 2 cards I made with Mr & Mrs. Grumplings Wedding set from Taylored Expressions:
