Slimline cards with floral borders and shading

Welcome to my channel. Although my videos are in a tutorial type format, I only really want to give you ideas on ways to use your stamps and dies in different ways, to get the most out of what you purchase. You don't have to keep buying all the new products, most of my videos will translate to stamps you might already have, I will use old products I have, which may not be available anymore, but use something you have or can get. Most of my videos will be floral cards and aimed at the more experienced card makers, but I will endeavor to put some more simple designs in for the beginners.
These cards are easy to do slim line cards with stamping florals, masking and ink blending.

[@elizabethturnbull1537]

Hi Helen, two beautiful cards, really like this technique, need to look at my own stamps instead of looking around for DL sizes, take care. Regards.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Elizabeth, yes its a great technique to use our old stamps with

[@leamerritt7870]

Hi from Adelaide. Beautiful cards. So glad you used older stamps as I have similar stamps so will give it a go. 💙

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thanks Lea, yes older stamps still have a place, they are so beautiful, we can't stop using them

[@CraigsOverijse]

Beautiful as always thanks Helen also the stamp emboss twice and then dry is great idea but actually I easily can see the silver don’t worry that people can’t as you can. I think your colour choices was fabulous and the blending on the mask was great. What brand of mask paper do you use? Also a tip pull the end few mm off your double sided tape on all sides fold to the outside then stick first strip as normal then simply gently pull the tape and stick as you go on the other sides no need to lift the panel once it’s lined up.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thanks for the tip. At the moment I have inkadinkadoo masking paper, but almost finished so have got Gina K to try as apparently it holds up better for repeated stamping.
