decorative masks – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Card Ideas with the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks!

Hello Everyone!

Today’s card features the Thankful Garden Decorative Masks. I’ve had these a little while but hadn’t got round to using them until now.

I had a little help choosing my colour scheme… 😂

Colour combination inspiration can come from all sorts of places, fabrics, wallpapers, that kind of thing.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The images were die cut and positioned on the card base with die cuts from Perennial Postage.

The same dies were used to cut the sentiment and embellished with a Fresh Freesia cardstock banner and Starburst Sequins.

I used the inks differently for these samples and used Daffodil Delight card bases!

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

There are lots of combinations to use to create a different look.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #130 with Blessings of Home

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog today!

My card project is my design team inspiration for the Inspire.Create.Challenge 130…. And this time it’s a free choice, no specific theme or colours!

So I made something pretty and floral with the Blessings of Home bundle and my Stampin’ Blends!

The colours I used were Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent….

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial

The decorative masks add a simple and effective background to coordinate with the design.

Theses flowers were coloured with Tahitian Tide and Balmy Blue!

And this one uses Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Creating Subtle Backgrounds with Decorative Masks & Pastels

Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing a technique to create backgrounds using the Soft Pastel Assortment.

Using this medium gives a much softer colour to the background than can be achieved with inks.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The piece was simply layered with coordinating cardstock with a die cut sentiment added with dimensionals

This card used a different mask but the same pastel colours. This time the sentiment was cut with the Double Oval punch.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

This card used colours from the Subtles collection;

Calypso Coral
So Saffron
Pear Pizzazz
Balmy Blue
Highland Heather

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I was really pleased with how this turned out.

It occurred to me later that the Stitched Triangles would have continued the geometric theme.

Hello Fabulous

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card features the All Dressed Up bundle.

I decided to use a decorative mask to create a background. Daffodil Delight ink was applied using a sponge dauber.

The perfume bottle was stamped ith black ink and “coloured” with one of the coordinating stamps from the set.

Whisper White card stock was die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly set. A sentimental was added with Lovely Lipstick ink.

The elements were added with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.
