Good Morning

Playing with my stamps from Penny Black.

This card was sent out to some very special friends as we isolate during this difficult time.

So here's how I created my card.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and placed it into my Misti.  I used my Tombow markers and coloured directly onto The Unfolding flower using shades of pinks and a hint of red.

I sprayed with some water and pressed onto my paper.  The markers are waterbased and the colours blended together beautifully.

I continued to colour directly onto the stamp, finishing the flower then let the piece dry.  

I placed my rectangle acrylic mask over the flower and rubbed on a hint of Shabby Shutters Distress ink to create a framed area.  

Next, I removed the mask and stamped the sentiment from the  Friendship set in the bottom corner using some Versafine ink.  I did heat emboss it just to be sure it wouldn't smear.

I mounted it onto some pink cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Here are the masks I used:
