Hello and welcome to my blog again today. I’m so appreciative of the time you spend with me. Today I have another ‘How Do I Do That?’ videos with Hinge Stamping with Masking.

Now, I must admit to having a disaster with my sample as I spilt a glass of water all over my stamping desk. So the sample was drowned and unable to be revived.

Monochromatic

16/07/202016/07/2020

Welcome to another Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop with a theme of Monochromatic. I’m so glad you could join us today and hope you visit all the blogs in the hop and leave a comment as you go.

If you’ve arrived here in order, you have arrived from the wonderful Denise Cox. To see a full list of participants, scroll down below my signature and thanks again for stopping by.

Monochromatic

For this layout use:

This is my eldest at his younger sister’s wedding. Always has something funny to contribute

Tip: Use a pair of compasses or a plate to make your ‘rough’ circles with a pencil and then go over the lines with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker

Tip: Use the back of one of the equilateral triangle images from The Right Triangle Photopolymer Stamp Set to create the plain colour triangles. Sadly there’s no die-cut for these triangles so just use your Paper Snips to cut around them.

More Monochromatic

Use the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Refill to create a wash with some water and flick the ink on the background using one of the Water Painters.
