Morning.
Meet today's card. A simple, CAS ready for the holidays.
So for this card, I began by masking the center area of my card using Painter's Tape. I inked up the Full Bloom stamp from Penny Black using my Memento markers and my Misti.
Using the Misti, it is easy to add layers of colour to your stamped images.
Next, I inked and stamped the cedar using a stamp from The Darkroom Door. I think it helped to give the card a more Christmasy feel. Then I sponged the edges using some Peeled Paint Distress ink and removed the masks.
I chose this sentiment from MFT and used black Memento ink to stamp it using my Misti. I scored along the edges of the masks then added some Nuvo droplets for extra interest and texture.
