N is for Napkin

I was admiring all the beautiful hydrangeas in my neighborhood as I took my daily walks. I saw that I had some pretty napkins with hydrangeas on them and decided to use one for my alphabet series card since I am on the letter N. I used a die to cut out a shape from the napkin that I had glued on some card stock. I sponged around the edges using Villainous Potion Distress ink. I added a stamped butterfly from Hero Arts. The stems are Tim Holtz dies and the stencil is by Darice.


Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

M is for Masking

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am showing another card in my alphabet series and today I am on the letter M. I used the masking technique on my card. I stamped the flowers from  Altenew, colored them with alcohol markers and masked them. After I placed the masks over the flowers, I laid a stencil, by Vicki Boutin, over them and used blending brushes to color over the stencil. I used Broken China and Cracked Pistachio Oxide inks for the colors. The saying is a rub on. 


Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
