Gallery Idol Round 3 {Masked Roses}

Hello and welcome! I am absolutely thrilled and honored to be in Round 3 for Gallery Idol! Thank you to everyone who voted in Round 2 and for all of your comments and support! They mean a lot to me!

This round, our challenge is to make your own stamped background. I decided to create a background using the "Masking" Technique

Here are the "masks" I made and used to create my card.

To do the masking technique:
  1. I used Post it Notes. (they are good for sticking)
  2. Stamp the rose image onto the post it note and fussy cut them out.
  3. I used 2 different roses-but created 3 rose "masks".
  4. Then I stamped one rose image on my white cardstock background.
  5. Then, using the post it note mask, I covered that stamped rose on the white paper and then stamped another rose over top of it. So it looked like the roses were in a bunch.
  6. I actually masked 2 flowers at once, when adding the leaves to the background.


I decided to use a pretty Rose stamp set made by Flourishes and used a sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp set. My roses are coloured with Copic Markers and I used Memento Black Ink to stamp the roses and the sentiment. I then punched out a butterfly in Daffodil Delight cardstock and another butterfly in vellum, so soften it. To tie in the black accents, I added three small black pearls.

I hope you like my Round 3 Card for Gallery Idol
