For today's project I decided to try out the Masking Technique to achieve the pretty floral frame centrepiece on this card:-
The card base is 5 3/8 inches square and so fits perfectly in a 5.5" square envelope.
I used one of my Layering Square Framelits Dies to the create the template.
Then, it was simply a case of building up a pretty floral frame using three little stamps from the Bloomin Love Photopolymer stamp set.
I wanted to give the layered focal point of the card some dimension, so decided to mount it on a square piece of Fab Foam which I purchased from Hobbycraft. This really makes a good sturdy card. I think the look is nice, clean and simple.
I used a lovely palette of colours - Pool Party, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz. They compliment each other beautifully.
My new step by step video shows you how to create a card using this technique:-
Hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Bye for now.

DeleteBeautiful card Linda - can I ask you about the anti-static gizmo you used please, ie what/where/how? Thanks. Angela
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela - I bought the anti-static tool as it's great for shaker cards, as demonstrated by K Werner. I bought mine from Amazon. You could also use the Embossing Buddy for this card though.
DeleteGorgeous card Linda and a technique for me to try. Not heard about the anti-static tool but notice I can use an Embossing Buddy to make this sort of card.
