Dolphin Tangle

Morning everyone, something a little different again today, using the Dolphin Stamps from my collection. I have used them with the wonderful pattern stamps from Leonie to fill them with patterns and create the frame, giving the look of a tangle. I designed my stamps to have the open spaces to allow more ways for them to be used. You can either fill these with stamps or take the time to make your own wonderful Zentangle patterns. I have left this monochrome, but you could easily add colour for a totally different feel to your card.

You will Need:

Craftascope 'Dolphin' A5 Media Stamp Set 1

The 'First Collection' From Leonie

Black Versafine Ink Pad

Black Fine Liner

Copier Paper for Masking 

Low Tack or Washi Tape

Ruler

White Card

Black Card Base

Step 1: First stamp your dolphins  and sentiment in position on your card. Then use a ruler and fine liner to draw a frame around your images.

Step 2: Use copier paper and/or washi tape to mask the frame, then use one of Leonie's stamps to fill the frame you have made.

Step 3: Next use a selection of stamps to fill the various parts of the dolphins. You can easily make a mask by stamping the same dolphins onto copier paper and cutting them out. You can do the same for the inner sections to allow you to stamp within the design. If you tangle by hand, then the masking is not needed.

Step 4: Mount your card onto a black card base with Tacky glue to give you the finished card.
