Grateful For Layers Of Beauty

I hope your week is off to a great start. The sentiment in today’s card expresses my gratitude for each and every one of you. Thank you for checking in on my blog and for subscribing to receive my latest posts. It truly means a lot to me, and know that if you have any questions or comments, you can always reach out.

Paper crafting is such a wonderful creative outlet, don’t you agree? It’s been with me since the late nineties and I can’t imagine not spending time in my craft room cutting paper! Today, though, I inked paper!

The Layers of Beauty is a stamp and die Bundle with a BONUS! Yes, the Bundle includes a beautiful set of layering masks (stencils). You have options when using this Bundle. The linear images make it easy for you to add color using your Stampin’ Blends, or you can use a Blender Pen and add a touch of ink, or you can easily line up the coordinating masks and add color with ink and a Blending Brush.

So, let’s make a card so you can see how easy it is to create your personal masterpiece.

Parts & Pieces

This is a simple top fold A-2 card. The card base is 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″. I cut a Bubble Bath cardstock top layer 4″ x 5 1/4″.

Let’s get to the fun part.

I used Bubble Bath ink for Mask #1;
For Mask #2, Petunia Pop ink made the cut;
Berry Burst is the choice for Mask #3;
Mask #4 is inked with Granny Apple Green;
And, Old Olive finished beautifully for Mask #5.

Grab your ink and Blending Brushes. Each of the stencils are numbered 1 through 5.

Here’s the “How To”

Stamp the large flower image onto a Basic White cardstock layer using Black Memento Ink.
Attach the stamped image to a protected surgace, or grid paper using low tack tape to keep it from moving.
Align Mask #1 over the image. Refer to the photos in the Project Sheet download below.
Using a circular motion and a Blending Brush, add Bubble Bath ink to the exposed areas of the mask.
Remove the mask and set it aside.
Align Mask #2 over the image.
Using Petunia Pop Ink and your Blending Brush, apply ink to the ex[psed areas of the mask.
Remove the Mask.
Repeat this process for Masks #3 through #5.
Die cut the image with the large die in the Bundle.
Attach it to the top Bubble Bath cardstock layer with Dimensionals.
Stamp a sentiment and attach it to the card front.
Yu can esily clean your Masks using water or a little dish soap and water.

Once you create one beautiful flower cluster with the Masks, I promise you will want to create more. Try coorodinating Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, and Pretty Peacock. WOW!

And how about Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral?

What colors would you choose for your beautiful flowers?

So, pick your colors, stamp your image, blend your ink, and create a beautiful tribute for someone special.

… the only limitation is your imagination!
