Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a dice roll giving us masking, standard vertical, pearl, for you and black and white. I have made my monochromatic shell card using the Shell Collecting stamp set.

I cut a circle, centrally in the upper half of the larger, scrap piece of Basic White card.

I used a Blending Brush to add a little Memento Tuxedo Black ink to the exposed circle. The masking panel was then removed.
