Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks Card - Stamp 'N' Hop

Hi Everyone,

I'm hopping with the Stamp 'N' Hop group and the theme is 'Masking' so I have brought out the lovely Butterflies and Flowers Layering Masks to make a pretty card with the soon to retire 2020-2022 In-Colours.

Materials

1 piece of misty moonlight card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

2 pieces of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

Butterflies & Flowers Layering Masks

Bumblebee ink

Misty moonlight ink

Just jade ink

Magenta Madness ink

Blending Brushes

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Gorgeous Leaves stamp set

Art Gallery stamp set

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Instructions

On the long side score the misty moonlight card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Tape one of the pieces of white card to some scrap paper/grid paper to keep your desk clean. Position the solid butterfly mask wherever you want it to be on the card and add some washi tape to secure it. Add post it notes or scrap paper over the edges of the card or to cover any of the other stencils so that you dont get any excess ink on your card.

Gently work the blending brush over the butterfly with your chosen colour (bumblebee) then peel this mask off and place the detailed one over the top of your image. Add post it notes all around as before and now work in your second colour (misty moonlight).

Now position the solid flower on the card and mask all around it while you colour with magenta madness, peel off this one and replace with the detailed flower and add misty moonlight.

Repeat this process for the second flower using bumblebee and magenta madness. Now add in some leaves around the edges of the flowers with the just jade, masking off all the flower to try and tuck the leaves in among the petals.

Using the splatter from Gorgeous Leaves in bumblebee, randomly stamp all around the images and add a few to the remaining piece of white for the inside of the card.

Stamp the sentiment in misty moonlight on the card front and inside the card if required.

Adhere to the card base and then add some brushed brass butterflies.
