Blending Roses

The new Layers of Beauty Bundle is one I am finding myself drawn to. Having not used stencils / masks before, I find these to be so easy to use. I think you will as well.

Stamps

The Layers of Beauty Bundle includes the Stamp set, Dies, and 5 masks. On this card I did not utilize the Dies. I previously used the entire bundle. If you want to see it again you can click HERE. This card was created for a class and I wanted the focus to be on getting the blending done more than die cutting and layers. So I kept everything very simple.

The stamp set also includes a few special sentiments. This one is so sweet. If it looks familiar, I taped off the “for you” and only used the grateful on the Memorial Day card from Monday. You can see that card HERE.

Colors

The lack of DSP is probably a shock to several of you. As I tend to use it on almost every card. But as I mentioned above, I wanted this card to be simple and all about creating the flowers. That said it took several colors to create these flowers. For me as a relatively new student of masks, I find it easier to stamp the outline of the image. This allows me to use the outline to aline the masks properly.

The first step was stamping the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Next came the first mask, and they are numbered clearly, using Fresh Freesia Ink. The second mask uses Petunia Pop Ink. And the third floral mask uses Berry Burst Ink. Then come the greenery. For the fourth mask I used Granny Apple Green and then finally Garden Green. The variation in colors does not need to be perfect. I love that it is lighter in some places than others. Nature is not perfectly even in colors either.

The card base is Berry Burst with Granny Apple Green as the layer. And to add a touch of bling, as always, I kept that simple as well. There is one of the large Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

Thank you for stopping in today!!! I hope you will give this bundle and masking / blending a try.
