Make It Monday 14

This week's Make It Monday was brought to us by Erin Lincoln.  It involves "selective inking," not be confused with "selective hearing" that my almost-six-year-old suffers from.  (It's a dreadful disease!) Erin encourages us to stop the masking and use selective inking when you need a stamp to stamp in different colors.

Lisa Johnson's Life set is made for this technique!  I've used it several times with this technique.  Here's my latest - again using colors from Play Date Cafe this week, but I think I've reached my limit in submissions for them this week:

I stamped the leaves in Ripe Avocado and then the blooms were stamped in Orange Zest with a little Pure Poppy rolled on the edges.  After I got the color down, I stamped the blooms again in Versamark and embossed them with my new Holographic embossing powder.

Then I scored the frame to highlight the images.

The sentiment is also done with the selective inking technique Erin is highlighting this week.  The orange part of the sentiment is one long strip, but I wanted it on two lines, so I only inked it up a little at a time. 

Another fun week at PTI.  This challenge along with the big release week has me losing some sleep!  What's on your Wish List?  I haven't taken the plunge with Year Of Flowers yet, so the mini-set looks very appealing.  I also love the Fruit Fusion, all the Floral Fusion, Think Big and Tag Its sets!  I thought I would take it easy this month, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen!

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

Here are a couple of other cards I've made with Life and selective inking.
