More Masking

Yesterday's card kept all the action inside the masked area, and today's card shows how you can spill over that masked line to add interest to a one-layer card. This monochromatic card uses a text background from Dawn Houser/Inkadinkado, SU's Stem Silhouettes, and a sentiment from Hero Arts. The bling is positioned in a visual triangle.


After making the green card, I decided to try pink with a different background. I like the green one better, but thought I'd share this one for those of you who love pink. This marbled background stamp is from Judikins, and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

    I like these-- masking the borders instead of covering the whole card with a background...a nice clean look...somehow more cohesive.

    Wow, Susan, beautiful cards. I do like the background, and I love anything with Garden Silhouettes. The bling just makes it perfect! And while the pink is pretty, it pales (which is hard for that pink!) in comparison to the green. Lovely job today!
