Mixed Up Masking

Time for the new Challenge over at

Mix It Up and this month our

Anything Goes Option is - Masking

So many ways to go about this technique

but I decided to mask either side and go with

showcasing my Mix of Flowers.

Those that frequent my blog know how much I love

to play with my Lindy's Magical's and they do make

amazing backgrounds.

See what I mean!

On to my layers of flowers.

First up I stenciled Tim Holtz Wild Flower 

with Distress Crackle Paint in Clear Rock Candy 

which didn't impress me much so

inked up one of the flowers with VersaClair Fallen Leaves

and heat embossed clear slightly to the side.

I then smooched more flowers and die cut adding on top.

All three layers are from Tim's Wild Flowers -
stencil, stamps and dies.

Threw on some splatters left over on my mat.

Inked my sentiment from Woodware Gone to Seed

with the Fallen Leaves then ran a pen down both sides 

of my masking. 

Attached to purple card stock.

(How hard it is to get a good colour photo wise)

After I made this card I had second thoughts about
the masking technique
and made another in the more traditional style.

Again I used Magical's with Twinkling H2O
and Nuvo Drops on my masked flowers which are
STAMPlorations Bloom Doodles
Sentiment is from Bloomful inked in
SU Calypso Coral and Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn.
Lightly smooched background.
I thought the sentiment perfect for this trying time.

That's my Designer's Makes for this month at
