Masks Theme!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our new theme:

If you’ve never used our Decorative Masks, I urge you to give them a try. For this week’s card, I opted to use the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks as a background on my Very Vanilla Cardstock layer:

I used the cluster of flowers mask with Basic Beige Ink and a Blending Brush. I also stamped over the masking and added a few layers:


Stampin’ Up! Products Used:
- Stamps: Thankful Garden, Elements Of Text
- Inks: Basic Beige, Memento Black
- Cardstock: Basic Black, Azure Afternoon, Very Vanilla, Basic White
- Tools & Accessories: Thankful Garden Decorative Masks, Thankful Garden Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Card Recipe:
- Card Base: Basic Black Cardstock 11 x 4-1/4. Score and fold at 5-1/2.
- Layer 2: Azure Afternoon Cardstock 5-1/4 x 4. Glue to card base.
- Layer 3: Follow these steps:
