Here is the card I did for Make it Monday over on Nichole’s blog for PTI.  I had lots of fun with this technique and will definitely be using ot more often.  I used On My Couch and On My Couch Additions from PTI.  The designs on the chairs were done with images from BoBunny Jazmyne that I picked up at the local scrapbook store.  I used the following Colorbox Chalk cat’s eyes inks: mint, celadon,apple green, fresh green, moss green, and olive along with Stazon Jet black.  The inside as a white layer with an image stamped on it as well as the envie.  You can see another card I made using the chair from On My Couch and the same technique here.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great Saturday.  This isn’t the best picture either.  It’s a 3×6 card.  I got the idea for the card size from card a la carte.  It’s a very fun size to play with, give it a try!

Hello all!  Today I sat down and created this card for the PTI inspiration blog hop.  I just love this photo.  I decided to go with the On My Couch set.  I have been using Erin Lincoln’s reverse masking technique that was shared for this weeks Make It Monday #20.  I have been having so much fun with it!  If you have not played around with this technique, you have to give it a try!  I have do reverse masking in the past but have never added another image to an image in this way before.  So quick and fun!  I did each chair on the card using this technique.  The bottom chair is cut out and adhered to the top of one that was stamped under it (I messed up that chair and didn’t want to scrap the whole card since that was the last chair to be done so I decided to “hide” the mistake instead ;)  The sentiment is from On My Couch Additions. This is one of the first sets I got from PTI and I just love it.  The thread is DMC 327. I used black csw for the base with the white layer on the outside and inside of the card. On the inside I stamped the image that’s on the bottom chair in that same color.  I did the same on the envelope. I like to stamp a little something on the inside of my cards as well as the envelopes. I think it gives them a little ’sneak peak’ when done on the envie The masking was done with images from the BoBunny Jazmyne set.  I used the following inks from Colorbox Chalk Eyes: ice blue, french blue, ice jade, aquamarine, wisteria and warm violet and stazon jet black.  Make sure you stop by Nichole’s blog to check out the blog hop if you haven’t already.

Sorry the picture is a bit dark.  It’s been cloudy here and this was the best one I took.
