Hot Mess Success ~ Sending Smiles!

 Hi friends!

It's time for another "Hot Mess" card. 

where I create a card once a month using a messy technique.

So how messy did I get this month?

The mess went for miles and miles, LOL!

 

 

 I LOVE this technique to cardmaking!
I spotted a challenge on Splitcoaststampers months ago

and quickly created a card to match the sister version :) 

I'm basically casing my own card!

How is it messy?'

It's a tape technique!

It basically needs masking tape or painters tape 

and you put it directly onto the cardstock.

I chose 3 distress inks and rubbed them directly onto the tape ~

press the painters tape.

Color may very so you can always go over it with a second coat :)

The sending smiles sentiment is stamped in Momento

and I added a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

 

When you peel the painters tape back, make sure you roll it into a ball

and then toss it.

Otherwise the ink transfer is pretty dominant ~

ask me how I know :)

Barb is the group leader and asked me to join her this year
