Have you seen the brand new masking stencils by Taylored Expressions? Oh my. Here's the link if you want to see them. They have 4 different ones, circles, ovals, rectangles and squares. I had to get all 4 because after watching a few videos I was convinced 1) they are a game changer 2) I can't just pick one size. This masking stencil made this card sooooo easy to create. Just place the stencil on your paper, blend your fave ink using a blending brush, then place another stencil over top while still taped to sheet of paper and use your blending brush to put the stencil on top of the circle. I am not sure this makes any sense but that's how I did it. Easy peasy!! I colored this sloth with my Koi watercolor paints and then fussy cut around him and added him to the card. The sentiment is computer generated because the only sloth sayings I have are "birthday sayings". Also, Taylored Expressions is in Iowa (I'm in NC) and I ordered them last Thursday and I got them on Monday. 3 days!!! I love fast service!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!! I'm so thankful for all of you who read my blog and leave me comments. I really do appreciate it!
