Happy Birthday!





Happy Wednesday!  I have a card to share today.  I am playing along with this week's Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday Challenge.  We are challenged to Mask and Stack. 



I decided to take this technique alittle farther.  Instead of just masking and stamping one image, I wanted to try to mask and stamp several to create a floral scene.  My inspiration came from a clothing tag I have had in my inspiration stash for awhile.  



Here is the card with the inspiration tag to the right.  I think I came pretty close to recreating the look.  I did have to do a lot of mask and stacking.  Here is what I did.  I started with some PTI stamper's select white card stock.  I stamped the two largest flowers from  Peonies on Parade stamp set and made post it note masks for both.  I masked off the flowers and stamped the leaves in the set.  I also made masks for those.  



Next, I stamped and fussy cut masks for the leaves from Gran's Garden stamp set.  This image I had to stamp in different colors as well.  For the little aqua mist dotted background element on the right I used the cluster image from Gran's Gardens set as well.   I used the Twig Wreath stamp set.  I also used the smaller circle images from Twig Wreath as well.  I used Spruce and Sprigs stamp set for some of the larger circle images.  



Once I had everything stamped, I die cut the panel out with the stitched rectangle from Noted: Scalloped A2 Vertical die collection.  I used the Tag Sale: Quilted die for the sentiment strip.  I stamped the sentiment from Birthday Mini stamp set and heat embossed it.  I finished my card with a few clear sequins.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
