~ I Am the Gate ~

Thank you for stopping by.  I must extend my deepest apologies for my absence this past week.  We had a double whammy in our household last week with the loss of a family member and my own struggle with illness.  I find myself with an odd mix of emotions, both sad and happy.  I am sad that my uncle is no longer with us, however, I am happy to know he is rejoicing in Heaven.  There are worse things then death my friends.  The project I have today has been languishing on my desk.  I created and photographed it well over a week ago but just haven't had the heart and/or resolve to post.  I think the scripture is quite fitting.  I feel certain my Uncle would love it!

And the products you see today...

Trust in Dreams ~ Masking Tape and Ink Technique

Good Monday morning!  I have a clean and simple card to share today using masking tape.  Yes, masking tape!  I took three similar shades of blue/green ink and gently ran a bit of masking tape over the ink pad.  I then used each swath to sweep the ink on my paper.  I added the lightest cooler first, medium color second and finished up with the darkest hue.  I then stamped my sentiment on with black ink.  Super easy and pretty too.  :-)

 

 

I started out with a black card stock base (5.5 x 4.25) and added a coordinating seafoam mat.  I used white CS for my color wash and sentiment.  I finished with a black die cut fence.  Here are some of the items you see...
