February is Winnie & Walter's 5th birthday. This year the challenges are based on Leading Lady Rosali's projects. Challenge 1 is Use Masking with Stencils.
I masked a strip across the center of my panel & then brushed green ink through the W&W Pennsylvania Polka Creative Screenings. The flowers & leaves from W&W Eva's Favorite Flowers were stamped in VersaMagic Malted Mauve, Perfect Plumeria & Memento Desert Sand. I added details with a white gel pen. The sentiment from W&W A Tree for all Seasons was stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist 3 times using my Mini MISTI. The mat is a piece of gray cardstock that's a close match. I'm also entering Uniko's 7th BD Party as I'd love to add some Uniko products to my stash.
Challenge 2 is Masking Backgrounds with Dies.

Two fantastic cards Greta. Sorry about the loss of your friend. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note, just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday, as your birthday card is still sitting in my mailbox to go out to you. We have not had any mail service for several days and of course I haven't been out except to go to my dad's. So hope you have a great day and sometime soon (I hope) you will receive some Happy Mail. Lol Hope you had a great day.
Both stencil cards are beautiful, Greta. The colors you use are always so pretty. What a shame about your friend. That is so sad but they will treasure your card and know you are thinking of them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sympathy card, Greta!! The inkblending over your handmade stencil adds just the right amount of interest to the background.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for joining the challenge at Winnie & Walter!! :)
