MMM - Mid-week Motivation - Green, Pink & White
The card I have to show you today uses the masking technique along with some two step stamping. Here is the card and then I will explain what I did.
The green polka dot label was stamped first onto the card and then again onto a post it note. The one on the post it note was cut out and placed on top of the one on the card - it was then safe to add my roses around the edge - take a look
This is what it looks like when I removed the post it note
My roses are two stamps - the first solid stamp is inked up with a very light ink and then the second stamp adds some darker detail - I cut out some of these roses
These then had some 3D foam pads added and then were attached to the card.
Hope this inspires you to have a go in our challenge this week - all the details can be found HERE

MMM - Mid-week Motivation - Wild Flowers & Grasses
The poppies were made by stamping the image onto vellum with Versamark ink and embossing with black embossing powder. They were then cut out and attached to the card with clear gloss adhesive.
The large image of grasses is from Crafty Individuals.

After making Monday's card I had a few scraps of the music paper which I used to make my flower

MMM - Mid-week Motivation - White Flowers
My white flowers have been stamped onto coloured card stock and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.
This has been done with a solid image stamp however you can achieve a similar effect by stamping with a white pigment ink pad and colouring in with a white gel pen - this looks great on Kraft card stock.
