The sentiment, from the Festive Friends stamp set, currently on the last chance list was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink below the inked area. The panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock layer and then to the card base.

I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink to the edges of the die cut trees to give a little definition. The trees were then mounted onto the inked panel on Dimensionals.

Masked Floral Card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. This floral card was made using the Flowers Fair stamp with masking and ink blending.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the Masked Floral card using the following supplies:

Petunia Pop card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

Using Masking Paper I masked off the top and bottom of the larger panel of Basic White card at a slant. The Masking Paper was left in position.

With the large Flowers Fair stamp mounted on a Stamp Positioner, I stamped the large background stamp on the masked off piece of Basic White card using Secret Sea ink.

I added Daffodil Delight ink with a Blending Brush to the left side of the masked image, Petunia Pop ink was added to the centre area and finally, Balmy Blue ink to the right-hand edge and the masking paper was then removed.
