Using a Blending Brush, and Balmy Blue ink.
Punch a circle out of the mask layer.
Place the Layer over the card front.

Blend inside the circle punch out.

Remove the mask from the card front.

Stamp the Prairie Grass stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad to the left of the mask.

Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black memento ink over the mask.

Stamp the text stamp from the Elements of Text and the splatter images around the card creating a vintage look.

Place some embellishments around the card.

Now we will try the opposite masking.
