PTI MIM #245: Color Isolation

The weeks sure go by quickly as it's time again for another Make It Monday Challenge with Papertrey Ink. Ashley shared with us ways to stamp a lighter background with color isolation to highlight an image. Wanting a change from butterflies and flowers, I went with a design that works for those more challenging masculine cards. Rather than use Kraft ink on Kraft cardstock, I should have opted for VersaMark ink to make my background even lighter. I'll save that thought for next time. Yard work is calling my name so this will be a quick post.

I repeatedly stamped the word "Celebrate" across my Kraft card base. Even though the dies don't match up perfectly with the stamped words, I decided to try this anyway. Two layers of Kraft beneath the white die-cut, I colored it using Bright Buttercup ink on my acrylic block with a paint brush and water. "It's Your Birthday" was stamped on Kraft with Dark Chocolate ink, snipped both ends and popped it up using SU Dimensionals. That's all folks!
