Hello and welcome to the Magic of Masks Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using masks or stencils. I am loving both the Enduring Beauty and new Layers of Beauty stamp sets, dies and masks and couldn’t resist using the new Layers of Beauty bundle to make my masked beauty anniversary card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the masked beauty card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Bright & Beautiful dsp – 5½” by 3¾”

I placed the masks, which are helpfully numbered, one at a time on top of the stamped image. Using Blending Brushes, I added Lemon Lolly to the roses and Highland Heather to the small daisies. Each mask added another layer of colour to the flowers.
