Sometimes when I’m creating a card design I play around with images that don’t get used in the final card. I have a small collection of these on my crafting desk that challenge me to find a way to use them. Such is the case with the stencilled background layer on today’s card.
I used one of the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks with Evening Evergreen Ink on Mint Macaron cardstock to make this layer. This pattern reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright’s style.
I am really pleased with how intense I was able to get the ink by pressing the ink pad all over the mask then using a Blending Brush to really push the ink onto the cardstock.
The tree is from the Beautiful Trees dies, part of the Beauty Of The Earth Suite. I think this card is great for so many occasions and recipients. What do you think?
If you’re in Australia I’d love to be your Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. You can shop my online store anytime. The products I used to make today’s card are listed below…clicking on a picture will take you to that product’s listing.
