You know I get addicted to Stamping Techniques sometimes. This is one of those times! I love, love, love the Masking Tape Background! It's so easy! You can see the original post HERE. This time, I put the Masking Tape onto one of our clear blocks and then used Stampin' Write Markers to color the "stripes." The Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin' Write Marker was used for half of the "stripes" and a Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker was used to color the others. I also misted the tape a second and third time to create additional backgrounds (See below).
The base card is Crumb Cake Cardstock. The next layer is Calypso Coral Cardstock that has been run through the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine in a Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Seashell is from the By The Tide Stamp Set. It is stamped in Crumb Cake Ink and then embossed using Clear Embossing Powder and a Stampin' Heat Tool. I then cut it out with Paper Snips and layered it onto a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock which I cut out as well. I then popped it up and adhered it to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
The greeting is from the Four You Stamp Set and was stamped onto Whisper White Cardstock using Calypso Coral Ink. It was cut using one of the labelFramelits from Chalk Talk Framelits. A piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock was cut with the same Framelit.I cut that piece on the diagonal and reassembled it behind the greeting. That piece was popped up and adhered to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. The product list is below. All Supplies are Stampin' Up! and can be found in my ONLINE STORE.
The Masking Tape was adhered to the Clear Block and the Stampin' Write Markers were used to create the background. The card shown above was the first "stamp" of the tape onto the cardstock. I then misted it with water and stamped it two more times. You can see the results below.
This was the first time I stamped it after misting it with water. (I did not recolor it.)
This was the second time I misted it with water and stamped it again. The background does fade with each stamp but it still creates a useable background for your Card Making Projects!

Love this technique. I am always looking for something new to try. I tried the one from a couple of days ago with the one stripe and flowers. I am going to try this one today.
I really love the Masking Tape technique. This is a good spin on the original way to do it. Love the card!
This is a great way to use this technique for a class. No worries about tearing the cardstock and what a gorgeous result. Thanks for sharing.
This is a beautiful card. Thanks for posting the how to for the masking tape technique.
Beautiful card Cathy – Love the soft colors and the technique! Thank you so much for playing along with us at RetroSketches this week!
So clever how you used the masking tape on your clear block. What a nice background you’ve created! Thanks for playing Dynamic Duos this week!
Great use of the sketch – I’d love for you to link up at 52 Card Pickup again this week!

That is the neatest idea. I like making my own papers and this is so simple but looks so elegant. I’ve got to go try it. Thanks for sharing!
