layers of beauty – lovely color combination

I chose the Layers of Beauty bundle and masks for my February swap card for my demonstrators group and this is the card I came up with. The colors are a soft subtle palette with the flower petals layered with Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop and Blackberry Bliss, with a dash of Lemon Lolly in the daisy flower centers and Gray Granite and Lost Lagoon for the leaves. I paired that with the Textured Metallic Specialty paper for a beautiful card.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″, 3 3/4″ x 5″
Textured Metallic DSP: scrap for sentiment
matte and word die

Stamp the large floral image on one of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Take mask #1 from the layers of Beauty masks set and secure it over the image. Use a blending brush and color in the openings with Bubble Bath ink.

Place #2 mask over the floral image and secure with tape.

Use another blending brush and Petunia Pop ink in the openings of mask #2.

For mask #3 use the Blackberry Bliss ink and a blending brush.

Clean mask #3 with water and use Lemon Lolly ink and another blending brush on just the daisy centers.

Use Gray Granite ink for mask #4.

Finally use mask #5 with the Lost Lagoon ink.

The finished masked product is something lovely and easy to reproduce!

Die cut the floral image out.

I cut the large image into 4 different pieces to lay around the sentiments.

Emboss the 3 3/4″ x 5″ layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder.

Adhere the embossed layer to the other 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer.

Die cut the word die “just” from the words of Beauty die set in the Textured Metallic Specialty paper.

Die cut the matte sentiment piece from the Words of Beauty in the Textured Metallic Specialty paper.

Die cut the smaller sentiment piece that fits in the matte piece you just cut from a Basic White scrap.

Using Versamark ink stamp the word LOVELY from the Words of Beauty stamp set and heat emboss with WOW silver embossing powder and a heat tool.

I adhered the single rose piece to the right-hand bottom corner of the embossed layers.

I popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals the larger two rose colored piece to the left-hand upper corner.

I tucked the daisy piece under the two rose piece and adhered it down to the embossed layer.

I adhered the lovely sentiment heat embossed piece to the textured metallic matte and then popped it up on mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered it to the left-hand lower corner.

I adhered the “just” die cut and dot for the J over the lovely sentiment piece.

Adhere the layers onto a Basic White CS base.

I adhered five Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the card front.

And last but not least I slipped the little curly cue of floral buds under the lovely sentiment piece to finish off the card!

I love coloring this set it is so gratifying!

Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
