To get this effect, I used 2″ wide Post-It Tape a bit longer than the piece of Whisper White card stock I used. I tore the tape jaggedly down the middle and adhered it to the CS. This also kept the card stock in place while I worked on it. I used Stamping Sponges to color the exposed CS in Soft Sky and Pear Pizzazz.

Then I stamped the images from the In The Meadow stamp set in Black Memento ink.

I stamped the deer in the same ink on a separate Whisper White CS, then fussy cut them with my fabulous Paper Snips, leaving some extra space at the base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Greatest Greetings stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on a strip of Whisper White CS, tore the ends, then glued it to the deer, covering the base of the deer image. I attached the whole thing to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I glued the card front to a Pear Pizzazz layer, and glued that to the Soft Sky card base.

I liked the Post-It Tape technique so much, I decided to use it on the envelope.

Unfortunately, I didn’t realize there was black ink on my thumb, and I got an ugly smudge on the flap, just under the stamped area. I really wanted to get this card in the mail, so I didn’t want to take the time to redo the envelope. I came up with this:

I stuck the top piece of Post-It Tape over the stamped area and used a Sponge Dauber to cover the bottom of the flap in the same black ink. When I pulled up the tape, I didn’t like the top edge of the black area, so I used the Sponge Dauber to smudge it a little. I think it gives the image a foggy appearance. Envelope saved!

Here’s what I used:

The Post-It Tape is available in office supply stores, but I got mine from Amazon.com. Click on the image to buy it from Amazon.
