loveliest layers masking double layer shutter card

I have highlighted masking before but this time I have used two layers of masking with the Loveliest Layers Decorative masks to create a shutter effect.

Measurements:
Sweet Sorbet base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Pear Pizzazz layer 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
Basic White layers (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″

Using the background flower mask and a blending brush – hold down the mask and apply Flirty Flamingo ink with the Blending Brush in a circular motion.

Using the foreground flower mask and a blending brush – hold down the mask and apply Sweet Sorbet ink with the Blending Brush in a circular motion.

Using the background leaf mask and a blending brush – poition the leaves so the flower petals do not overlap, hold down the mask and apply Pear Pizzazz ink with the Blending Brush in a circular motion.

Using the foreground leaf detail mask and a blending brush – hold down the mask and apply Old Olive ink with the Blending Brush in a circular motion.

Taking the second Basic White piece of cardstock and the large patterned background mask and a blending brush – hold down the mask and apply Pear Pizzazz ink with the Blending Brush in a circular motion over the entire surface of the layer.

Place the background masked cardstock into the Stampin’ Trimmer and cut into strips diagonally leaving corner pieces and 1/2″ segments from the corner pieces.

Start to adhere the top right corner over the flower and leaf masked image.

Skip the second diagonal cut and adhere the third strip to the card matching up the edges.

Adhere the bottom corner of the background mask to the Flower mask layer.

Skip the next strip and adhere the third strip to the card.

To me this looked like a shutter on a window! Adhere the shuttered layers to the Pear Pizzazz layer.

Stamp the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in the upper left hand corner, tie a length of White Glittered Organdy ribbon to the card and then adhere the Pear Pizzazz layer to the Sweet Sorbet card base.

Add 2022-2024 In Color Decorative Matte Dots to the card in Parakeet Party color and your shutter card is complete!
