Yes, you read the title correctly. That was “Painter’s Tape,” the kind you find in the painting supply section of your local hardware/painters supply store. I found this technique. I am sure it was an old idea, but I have never seen it done, so it was new.
I found a new technique that makes such a pretty background with little to no effort. You can do it on any type of paper. It all depends on how dark and how much water you want to add to the card.
Below is one that I did with watercolor paper, and it came out deep and dark, vibrant colors indeed.
My second one was done with just plain whisper white paper. I kind of favor this one most. I love the flecks of the paper that come through the strips of color.
I am really tickled PINK with the colors that I choose. They do blend very nicely together—another reason I love Stampin’ Up! inks and coordination.
Dimensions:
Base 5 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches scored at 4 1/4 whisper white
Card Front 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 blushing bride
Next Layer 5 1/8 x 3 5/8 Merry Merlot
Top Layer 5 x 3 1/2 whisper white
Sentiment piece 3/4 wide and cut to length.

[…] My color scheme came from the Sahara Sand color coach from Stampin’ Up! I would have never put Sahara Sand and Merry Merlot together. I do like the petal pink and rococo rose with Merry Merlot. You can see that in a prior post where I did a painter’s tape technique. […]
