MFT Stamps - Penguins In Paradise

I am so excited to share with you my first 1 layer card, Lots of masking and hard work went into this one, and I won't be doing it anytime soon haha.

On all seriousness it was really great to do this card as I have wanted to do one for a while.

I started by preparing my X-Press It Blending Cardstock and laying out all my stamps to work out what I was going to do. I then cut down a piece of scrap paper around the same size and I stamped everything out using a Lawn Fawn acrylic block. I put my X-Press it Blending card into my Misti Stamping Tool and layed the piece of scrap that I stamped on in over the top of the Blending Card.

I looked at the scrap piece of stamping and worked out what needed to be stamped first, everything that is at the front needs to be stamped first, you then mask those off and stamp the next layer back.

So first of all I knew that the three penguins and the ball all needed to be stamped out first. I then worked out what I would need to create masks for to do the rest of my stamping. I knew I wanted the trees behind the penguins so I would need to create masks for all the penguins, thinking ahead I also realised I would need masks for the trees and the ball so I would be able to ink over the top of them to create my background.

I stamped the images that would need masks out onto another piece of scrap paper and used my EK Success Cutterbee scissors to fussy cut (right on the line) all of the images. I then used American Tombow Mono Multi to add adhesive to the backs. With Mono Multi it is permanent straight away and temporary if you leave it to dry.

With the masks for the trees I actually stamped those onto some post it notes because I realised I would need two, I left two post it notes stuck together and fussy cut them at the same time. I then added some more Mono Multi to the bottoms of those so I could completely adhered and create masks from them.

I stamped all my images out onto my X-Press It Blending Card, I left the masks on all the images then used another piece of scrap copy paper to tear and create a mask and give the separation between water and sand for my background.

I layed the mask down and inked up the sky first using Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks, I then removed the mask from the background and blended the sand, I used Antique Linen and Tea Dye for this, with the Tea Dye I didn't blend it more just pounced it on to create the texture of the sand.

Finally I removed all the masks using my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors, I love the point of my scissors it allows me to carefully pull the masks up.

I coloured the images up using Copic Markers, careful not to touch the Distress Ink too much with my Copic tips. I added some details using Uni-Ball White Gel Pen.

I stamped the sentiment out onto the layout using Memento Tuxedo Black. I decided at this stage to cut my project down and add some layers behind it just using some plain card stocks from my stash.
