A Lifelong Friendship

#Autumn coloring masking

Hi friends! I love to send cards to my friends, and today's card is perfect for that someone special in my life! I'll be using Let's Paint stencil, Beauty Found in a Vase stamp, and the DecoGel pens in gold and white. I'll also be doing a masking technique, which is so much fun! 

I stamped the florals in a vase image from Beauty Found in a Vase onto a piece of white cardstock using Black Hybrid ink. Then I colored the flowers in autumn shades using my alcohol markers. I also stamped the sentiment that coordinates with this stamp set! 

When the coloring was finished, I stamped the same floral image onto a piece of masking paper, die cut it, and placed the masking over the colored image. This will protect my image for some inking that I want to do around it! 

Once the masking was in place, I created another mask by die cutting an oval shape onto a piece of masking paper trimmed to 5.25x4.0. I placed the outer masking piece over the masked floral, and then adhered the Let's Paint stencil over it and stenciled into the center of the oval with an autumn yellow ink. When I removed all the masking, I was left with this lovely frame that looks like it's sitting behind the flowers! I love a good masking technique, and it keeps the card slim for easy mailing! 

Last step was to add white DecoGel pen over one of the flowers and gold over the centers of a few flowers, just for added interest! 

I trimmed the finished panel down, adhered it over a piece of black cardstock slightly larger, and then adhered both layers over a 5.5x4.25 white card base. 

I'm excited to send this card to a dear friend of mine welcoming in the fall season! Thanks for stopping by today! If you want to shop the items used in this post, click on the item description to be taken to the PFS shop!
