ABC Challenge 'M' is for Masking :-)

Well my first fortnight as a menber of the ABC Challenge DT was busy ! We had over 400 entries !! WOW !! Thank you to everyone for joining us and for the lovely comments you left for the DT too :-)

For our theme this week we have one of my fave techniques for you :

MASKING :-)

We are being sponsored by the fabulous Katarina from Whiff Of Joy :-) She had given us one of her fabulous stamps ,, perfect for all your Valentines Cards :-) Katarina is also looking for Guest Designers if you are interested in applying :-)




For my card I used the lovely Willow with Hot Chocolate stamp and her lovely comfy arm chair :-) I coloured her with copics and then cut the whole image out and decoupaged it onto some stripey 'wallpaper looking' paper :-) The papers are from a Papermania Regency paper pad, these are perfect with this image and I specifically bought this pad to use with these stamps !! :-) All the edges were inked with antique linen distress ink to give it an 'antique' look.

The beautiful rose is from Wild Orchid Crafts, I made some glimmer mist using antique linen didtress ink and a little water and a couple scoops of perfect pearls, which I then sprayed the flower with ,, then added some stickles for added sparkle :-)

The beautiful charm was a gift from Heidi at Simon Says Stamp ,, I love these antique looking ones ,, makes a lovely change from silver :-)

The sentiment is from a Clare Curd Papermania sentiment set and I added a few chocolate drops to finish :-)



Here's a close up ,,, isn't she lovely :-) I hope you will all join us again for this challenge :-) You have 2 whole weeks to enter ,,, so you all have plenty of time :-)
