Masking Technique for Cardmaking with Forever Fern

Hello and thank you for stopping by. The theme for this week's Share It On A Sunday is 'Masking' and I'm using a similar technique I've used before

I started with a card base in Basic White (Thick) and this measures 11½" x 4⅛" scored on the long side at 5¾"

The next layer is in Cherry Cobbler and this measures 5⅝" x 4"

The next layer is in Basic White and measures 5⅜" x 3¾"

The first thing I did was take a piece of scrap paper and cut a 2" circle using a circle die. I also used this die, and another slightly smaller die and die cut a copper ring using copper foil card.

Using the die cut paper as a mask, I stamped one of the leaves images from the Forever Fern stamp set all around the circle in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ink. The stipple/splatter stamp was used to create a 'haze' around the wreath and this was also stamped in the same three colours.

I used the 'to a friend that makes me smile' sentiment and stamped this in the middle of the circle. I then stuck the copper ring where I had masked the leaves.

You can use any colours you like and every card you make will be unique.

I'll be leaving links to all the products I used below but in the meantime, please have a look at what Karen and Victoria have made with this same theme
