Hi everyone! Two weeks ago Charmaine challenged the Prettie girls to use the masking technique on our cards. I used the new Stamp of the Month for August, Storytime Sophia. OH MY WORD....isn't she so cute? My youngest DD, Sarah, loves to read and this new Sophia reminds me of her!!
Here are some details: I colored Sophia in with Copic markers and framed her in Nestabilities. I masked her off and sponged some Baja Breeze ink all around her before removing her from the die. The chocolate background was scored in a diamond pattern with my Scor-Pal, as was the two embossed lines on the white base at the bottom of the card. The border was punched with the Eyelet border punch. The sentiment was punched out with the large oval and scallop oval punch. The brads were a gift from my pal, Jodi and the ribbon is from May Arts!
Don't forget to check out all my other Prettie's did with this challenge!!
