Less is More - Masking

Hi everyone :)

Another week gone and it's the Less is More challenge again!

This week Chrissie and Mandi are asking us to try masking.....

Oh No!

I did it last week for the script challenge and found it hard (usually the ink ends up where it shouldn't...)

But I gave it a go yesterday :)

 I stamped the sentiment first and then the butterfly. Then made a mask (with a post it note) for the tail of the 'g' and the butterfly before stamping over them both with the frame stamp.  I used SU inks and Unity stamps and used my stamp-a-majig for placement - I would be lost without this useful tool!

I matted the stamped card on melon mambo card and popped it up on thin foam pads.

The blue ribbon is May Arts and the tiny button is by Fancy pants.

I have to admit......I did enjoy making this card!

The ink actually went where it was meant to and I didn't trail my card through any ink pads :)

If you're celebrating Mother's Day today, I hope you're having a lovely day.

Three little faces appeared at my bedside this morning, holding a tray and looking a bit anxious.

I had breakfast in bed (toast & marmalade!) lovingly made and it tasted delicious :)

Best present ever!

Thanks for visiting today.

P.S. I got another surprise this morning - I was chosen for the spotlight at Sweet Stampin' for my Mother's Day card for Mum - delighted :)
