Outside the Box Technique

I love how this card turned out and I’m pretty sure my Online Technique Club members are going to love it too! Here’s a video showing a step by step tutorial featuring this technique:

I chose a couple small images from the OCEANFRONT stamp set to stamp in my masked “coffin” shape (LOL – oh Molli!). I used Highland Heather and Coastal Cabana Inks with Blending Brushes to create the box on my front layer.

Here’s the finished card – easy and very pretty! The cattails on the right side are just “OUTSIDE THE BOX.”

  • Coastal Cabana — 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
  • Basic Black — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ & scrap
  • Basic White — 3 3/4″ x 5″ & 4″ x 5 1/4″
