Now if you've been following my blog posts this week, you'll have seen the Layers of Beauty bundle on 3 previous cards. They all used the largest image of the set, along with some die cutting and even a little masking.
Today is different! Using only the masks with inks and Blending Brushes, I created this:
L.O.V.E.!
Such realistic flowers! I feel like an artist...but all I did was carefully line up the masks (5 of them in all) and use Blending Brushes with inks to create this beautiful panel!
Look at the detail and the depth of color! Gorgeous!
I started with Lemon Lolly and the #1 mask, which colors the light part of the flowers. Then, with Mask #2, I added some Daffodil Delight ink. And for the smallest, darkest details, I used Crushed Curry.
The leaves were done in Granny Apple Green with Garden Green details.
I mounted the main panel on Garden Green cardstock, then onto a Thick Basic White base with triangles of Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight to pull out the colors.
Feel like an artist! Grab the Layers of Beauty bundle on May 1st and and start your art journey!
Gorgeous Priscilla!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Marge! This is the first time I've used any masks, and I've been extremely happy to note how easy they are and what great results I get!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the details.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the kind comment, Wendie! Thank you! The masks are very easy to use; I used my Stamparatus with the magnets to hold my mask in place, but I would also recommend washi tape - anything to just keep your mask and your cardstock lined up. Then have fun coloring! Or blending...Or spraying...different ways to use the masks. The flowers will be lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow’d you determine the size of your triangles?
ReplyDeleteHonestly it was accidental. I wanted two layers under the main focal layer but didn’t want to cut down the top layer. I played with “crooked” layers (offset) with Daffodil and Garden Green but they were too small. I cut the green in half on a diagonal and then took just the corners of the yellow piece—it was just dumb luck that they looked so good! I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer for you. Experiment! You might find the perfect card! 😊
DeleteThank you for replying! Love your luck!
