MIM # 290 Combining Stenciling and Masking

I just had to get in one last card before I am gone for 16 days...family time...

I loved this MIM from Betsy, so quickly did this card (a couple of times...mess ups)  And wouldn't you know my re-positional tape ran out!

I used Fresh Bouquet and the sentiment from Beautiful Berries.

Ok, DH is wondering where I am...it is 11 PM and we have an early flight out...so off I go.

Thanks for stopping by...I will be missing for a couple of weeks!

Oh, and I made the background stencil myself by tearing the paper...I cut the paper to the card size, then marked iwth a pencil at the 3/4 inch line, using my fiskars paper cutter, I made two diagonal lines in opposite corners, then I simply tore the paper.  I did love the look of Betsy's new stencil that comes in the latest Make It Market Kit but I had to improvise!

Seize the Birthday with Vellum as our topping!

Welcome to another Seize the Birthday Challenge where we are looking for vellum on your card as our topping!

I die cut the vellum and then used a q-tip to apply my ink on the face of the vellum after white heat embossing it.  I did use a bit of colored pencils to add extra depth to some of the images like the berries and the leaves.  The flowers were done with two shades of ink.

I went around my card with the scor-pal to make some scoring lines to draw your eye in...

This is what I used:

PTI Fresh Bouquet

PTI Bigger Blooms (sentiment)

paper:  white and soft stone

 

There is a topping friends, but you can always make any kind of BIRTHDAY card too!

We all look forward to seeing your cards in the gallery!

Thanks for playing along!

Heart Hugs, friends!
