HSS106 - Thinking of You
The challenge on the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog this week is Color Blocking. I was in need of a sympathy card (actually two - boo hoo) and I thought this challenge would be a perfect opportunity to make them.
I didn't have any solid block stamps and I thought about actually using my acrylic block to make my 'color blocking' but instead, I punched out a scallop circle from my Eclipse masking tape and made a reverse mask. I used two colors of Distress Inks to color in the mask. Next I took my There She Goes buttercup stamp and stamped within the colored scallop. Finished it off with a Hero Arts sentiment and this challenge is in the books!

What a beautiful sympathy card, Maria! Love the masking with the scallop shape, and love the gradation of color you added. Really pretty stamped flowers, too. This is classic and elegant and very pretty.
Stunning! It really just pops off that paper!
