Papertrey August Blog Hop, CFC #67, Moxie Fab World, CASE Study #105
August 25, 2012
Today, I have a card linking up to several challenges. Firstly, the BIG blog hop from Papertrey Ink for August Blog Hop Challenge! We were given this inspiration photo from Nichole Heady and I wanted to try some masking for a DIY herringbone pattern.
  |
I CASEd Nicki’s winning card from CASE Study for the current CASE Study #105 challenge. For my sentiment, I didn’t want to cover up the background, and I was too chicken to stamp directly on it, so I cut a small banner with a simple “happy birthday” sentiment, perfect for CAS-ual Friday #67! To give it a little more movement, I decided to offset the sentiment to the side rather than in the middle for Moxie Fab’s Asymmetry Challenge.
Close up of the masking:
I have included a small photo tutorial on how I did the masking for the herringbone pattern. I used some washi tape, cut to the desired width and masked away.
Sorry for the long post for just one card!
Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI (White)
Stamps: PTI (Birthday Basics)
Ink: PTI (Smokey Shadow, Kraft, Fine Linen, Soft Stone) Stampin’ Up (Basic Grey, Creamy Caramel) Clearly Better (Chocolate)
Other: PTI (Rustic Cream Twine) Making Memories (Basic Eyelets)

Wow! Love your herringbone technique. I don’t quite get how you did the colors after the masking – was this direct color to paper?
August 25, 2012 at 10:56 pm
After masking, it was direct color to paper using a sponge. The masking acted as a guide for me, but since the sponge I used was quite big, I used some scrap paper to mask the other areas.

This is absolutely stunning! I adore this! Thanks for the tut as well!
