Make It Monday #250: Masked Backgrounds
Today's card is for the Make it Monday Challenge by Laurie Willison. She simply shows us how to make a masked background. I just followed her example, as it has been a long time since I have done this technique. Watch Laurie do it Here
Here is my card.
I was thinking of those pale yellow, almost white peonies in Grandma's garden when I colored these beauties with pale yellow and a touch of pink. After Masking off the borders, I used three Distresses inks. Dried Marigold,Wild Honey, and Rusty Hinge. Added a few drops of water for texture and die cut the word Believe, with a Memory Box die. I added white fun foam to pop it out a bit. The flowers were heat embossed with white powder and colored with copics and a bit of Wink of Stella, Clear. I used the stamp set from PTI called Peonies on Parade.
Last, just three dew drops of Crystal Drops. The front is adhered to fun foam and then to a top folding base of white card stock.

Oh Barb, I'm in love with your beautiful card! The colors you used in the background are all awesome together!! I don't have any of those colors and now I will be on the lookout for them. You're a faithful, enabling friend. ;0) The yellow flowers with the touch of pink are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI really love this technique. Your background is beautiful, and I love those gorgeous, big blooms
ReplyDeletesuper pretty card- love the blooms
ReplyDeleteThis is just spectacular. You have captured the challenge perfectly. LOVE the colors you chose, and also love how the flowers are much lighter so they pop right off the card. Using white embossing powder is genius, as are those pretty dew drops. I'm in LOVE with crystal drops. I need to make a card like this.....PERFECT!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh that background is so rich and vibrant and perfect for the embossed blooms. The background makes the pale flowers just pop, and the flowers make the background pop. Just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOh My, Barbara! What a gorgeous background and double gorgeous set of peonies! Wish I could see the real thing. Don't think I've ever seen pale yellow peonies, though I know they come in all colors. Your card tuned out stunning!
ReplyDeleteBarb, another beautiful card! I saw the video too and loved it, and you've really made an incredible card with the technique! I love your beautiful flowers and love how you've "popped" the word die! Completely stunning!! Hugs!
