Hello sweet bloggers,
Here is my first attempt at
masking
for Less is More this week - not sure whether I did a good job but at least I tried...
I think this card is rather stark and sombre... and the sentiment right in the centre makes it more so.
On the brighter side, I have come a long way as I am able to stamp directly on to the card now - that is no small feat for me. Lol.
Am also entering this card for Casual Fridays - one pattern, one stamp, one sentiment. I hope the ribbon does not come in the way.
Supplies:
Base card stock - white
Stripey stamp - Hero Arts
Rectangular stamp - cling from Prima
Sentiment - clear stamp from Off the Press
(went over the stamp with a black marker - could not resist the temptation)
Ribbon - American crafts
Stamp pad - Staz on black and black pigment dye
Flowers - Carla craft punch
Crystal - Prima
Crystal - Prima
Have a nice weekend.
Hugs,
Monica

I like this Monica but I think I would be judicious about who I sent it to - more a male card perhaps? Well done on stamping direct to card - my hand shake and I usually muff it up!
I disagree with Susan Monica - I wouldn't put gems on a male card! - but it's lucky we don't all think the same. Your card is lovely. I love the sentiment being in the middle of your label like this and then the label being over the striped background and I think the touches of bling on the flowers finishes it beautifully.
This is lovely Monica, like Vicky I agree that the gems looks super.
Thanks so much

Well done on your first attempt at masking and hope it's not the last. I love the way you have the design on an angle across the card.
lovely card Monica - it looks like we have the same colour scheme this week
Hello Dear Monica, I love black and white color designs! I also have tried masking only once. It is fun when you see the finished product. I just have so many projects dancing about in my head. : )
I actually think the gems are fine for male or female recipient, and I like how you angled your focal point. Hope to see you again soon. Hugs! Rae
Great job of masking!! Love this.
