Video: Reverse Masking & Black & White Plus One

Hi friends! Greetings from insanely hot Texas! Today's card is aspirational, because there's no way anyone in their right mind would have a picnic right now - so I'm dreaming of cooler days with today's project.

One of my favorite challenges at Splitcoast is when a host asks us to do black & white plus one color - you need just the right image to pull off a card like that, and the new  Picnic Basket Bundle is absolute perfection! This stamp set has a seamless, endlessly repeating plaid stamp you can build a blanket with, and I used it to fill in the matching napkin I made with reverse masking, using Cherry  ink.

Underneath the basket, which I die cut, I made a long stripe with the repeating plaid in Cherry  ink, and then I masked that and stamped the ADORABLE Marching Ants Bold Prints  over that before removing the masking. Look at their little legs! I love this stamp.

I used a fine point pen to add detail to the wicker and a few of the flowers.

 Here's the video!

Thanks for stopping by today! If it's cool enough for YOU to enjoy a picnic - head outdoors!
