Masking a plenty
I wanted words, and dimensional flowers, but felt like I needed a large leaf or pumpkin, or some fall related item to go with them. Below is the card I came up with. First I stamped the pumpkin from an Impression Obsession clear stamp set. Then I stamped it on scrap paper and cut out. Cut on the lines or a little bit inside. If you leave paper around the image, you’ll get a halo when you mask. Attach this scrap pumpkin over the stamped image with removeable tape. Then stamp the words with the flowers from a different Impression Obsession set. Remove the scrap paper mask and it looks like the flowers are behind the pumpkin! Color and blend. I stamped mine on a diecut of Nesties curved rectangles. Then I cut out the next size smaller curved rectangle and used it for a mask over the entire image. I attempted to airbrush the exposed edges with the Copic markers. I need more practice at that, but it is presentable. The tiny flowers are from Hero Arts. I stamped, colored, and mounted them on pop dots. Put the card together with layers and eyelets, and you have a great fall greeting.
