Fun with older sets
I can count on one hand the number of times I've made a card with masking. Usually I don't have the patience which I think is because I'm such a slow crafter anyway. However, can't miss a PTI MIM so sat down last night determined to come up with something for the Masking Sentiments challenge. I ended up using 2 of my older PTI sets: Year of Flowers Collection (my first PTI order in 2011) & Framed Out #1 (purchased in 2012) for a one layer thank you. The frame has a matching die which I cut from a full adhesive sticky note to use for my mask--worked great! I bought the floral set to use for backgrounds after seeing that in a magazine years ago. Sadly, I've hardly used it, but the daffodil turned out to be perfect for what I had in mind.
The PTI inks are Honey Nut, Harvest Gold, Ripe Avacado & Simply Chartreuse. No coloring at all--just added Star Dust Stickles to the flower centers. It's such a neat look in person as the glitter picked up the green color of the stamping.
Needed just a little something in the background & I was afraid to do actual splatters. Instead I used a stamp in the Precious Remembrance Shop set called Fall Colors. The stamping is second generation with Simply Chartreuse ink & I love the results. I'm also entering Retro Rubber, Stamping Sensations & WAW.

ReplyDeleteGreta, this is SUCH a lovely card and I'm smitten with your masking! I hear ya about how long it can take - I usually avoid it, but when I take the time, it's always fun to see the results! For a second, I thought your beautiful vase looked like a little PTI ink cube!

This is lovely Greta, the sparkle is wonderful! I used to mask all of the time on my cards. It is time consuming, but sometimes worth that extra effort!
