The floral image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks. I added Bubble Bath ink to the flowers.

A pretty floral anniversary card made using the Layers of Beauty stamp set, dies and co-ordinating masks along with the Bright and Beautiful dsp from Stampin' Up!

Masked Beauty card – Magic of Masks Blog Hop

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”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

 

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the Bright & Beautiful dsp to the 5⅝” by 3⅞” panel of Basic White card. This was then glued to the Highland Heather card front. I stamped the sentiment onto the card front using Gorgeous Grape ink.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the large floral image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

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.

The leaves were then inked in with Garden Green ink. I love how the colour and texture builds when you use the masks, so pretty. The inked image was then die cut using the Layers of Beauty Dies. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
