I'm posting this now as it's my entry for this week's SFTW challenge, which is called "Masking for the Weekend" - "This week we'd like to see some Masking on your cards, of two or more stamps! "
I was scanning down through their DT entries, and Claire's lovely card jumped out at me 'cos of the Penny Black Pink Toes stamp she used. This stamp was one of the first ones I bought - I've used it many times on cards for DD as ballet is her favourite activity. So why not roll it out again, in combination with the Hero Arts flower stamp which is actually the very first stamp I ever bought.
.
I coloured the stamps with Prismas, using greys and beiges as DD is definitely not a "pink" girl. I don't have the label Nestabilities, so I traced a similar shape and hand-cut it, and pierced a border. I've added little Hero Arts pearls to the flower centres, two ribbons tied together - and the papers are my adored BG Ambrosia.
Sorry it's a bit dark, as it was gloomy out when I took the picture (but typically, the sun is now shining!).
And thanks for looking!

Great card Julie for your DD, normally I'm not a cat person but this PB cat looks cute and great job on the masking, and love your dark papers and fabulous layout, the ribbons definitely tie it all together so nicely, and great job on the paper pricking, so time consuming but worth it in the end.
Thank you for participating in the "Stampin' for the Weekend" challenge again this week.. Good luck and we hope you'll continue to join in on the challenges on a weekly basis. Have a great day.
