Cre8tive Play: Blue Knight - Dictionary Page

Fridays are special days - who doesn't love TGIF, right? But here on my blog Fridays are also special because they are the day I get to post as a design team member for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

I used the new Dictionary Page stamp set today.

You can check out the stamp set in the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps store - HERE.

Card #1

This card also features the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Tree Swing Stamp.

Since the stamps are both stamped on the same piece of white cardstock, it did take a few steps to achieve the look.

I first used a die to cut the large label onto a piece of Avery Removable Labels (I purchased a whole package of them reasonable on Amazon and use them for masking). Placing the outer piece of the removable mask onto a piece of white cardstock, I then stamped the Tree Swing image onto it.

This allowed me to have the shape I wanted for the image.

I then placed the label portion of the removable mask inside the "frame" and then removed the outer piece so I could stamp the Dictionary Page onto the piece of cardstock.

It's such fun to remove the mask and see the card taking shape.

From there it was simply a matter of coloring the image and blending some ink around the edges of the Dictionary Page to age it a bit. Some dies, and such and the card was finished.

Card #2

On this card I started with a circle mask and kept it in place while stamping both the Dictionary Page and the Blue Knights Rubber Stamps Train Tracks onto the piece of white cardstock.
