Stampotique - SDC 158 Challenge and a tutorial!

Hi everyone

The sun is shining here today and Ivan is out cutting the lawn so I thought I would nip inside and share this tutorial and challenge entry I made yesterday.

Here is my card for the Stampotique STC 158 challenge.  The challenge was Black and White with a pop of colour……..

I have used my cute little Ignis stamp again as you can see.  I had to share a tutorial for this one as I used a masking technique and made this an easel card which I thought would be useful to explain in more detail.

I had the idea to use the black and white to depict my crowd of Ignis folk who look all the same and just a tiny bit boring and then with a pop of colour suddenly a whole new and fabulous Ignis appears……..I know, I know ……strange how these little ideas pop into my head ;-)

This was a real fun challenge prompt and I have been admiring all the lovely things that it has inspired over the week so please follow this link to see for yourself over at the Stampotique challenge blog.

Here is my video tutorial:
