I decided to participate in “A Card A Day In May” Kevin Theesen a fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is hosting this event on facebook, anyone can join. You aren’t required to do everyday and you can always play catch-up. Each day has a theme or color combination or a sketch to follow, it’s a fun month. So I hope to share with you everyday what I create for it. There won’t be any rhyme or reason as to what stamp set and stuff I am using, just having fun and creating cards.
Today’s theme was Birthday, so since I had the Thankful Garden out, I used that one and let me tell you, my masking was way better today than on Monday. Here is what I am talking about.
I stamped the flower in Memento Black ink and I stamped 2 of them. There is a die to cut out the entire flower and then a die to cut out the group of the 3 flowers at the bottom and the rest I fussy cut and added pop dots to them and attached to the large flower. Masking went better this time, maybe the color combination or just the fact that I have done it twice! I will keep trying, it does make a statement on the flowers.
The base of the card is Azure Afternoon followed by Shy Shamrock that was ran through the Big Shot using the Eyelet 3D embossing folder. The flower was stamped in Memento Black ink and the colors used are the same as card stock. I used Thankful Garden stamp set bundle, it has dies and masks to make the flowers come to life. I used the two-tone sparkle gems and wink of Stella to add sparkle. Finally I used the Say Something Ephemera pack and lots of pop dots all over.
Supplies: Thankful Garden bundle, Azure Afternoon, Shy Shamrock & Basic White card stock. Azure Afternoon, Shy Shamrock ink pads, Memento Black ink, Blending Brushes, Two-Tone Sparkle Gems, Wink of Stella & Pop Dots.
Remember make the card, send the card & caring is sharing!
