Quiet Meadow for Freshly Made Sketches 521

I've used the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches as inspiration to my continuing exploration of the Butterflies & Flowers Decorative Layering Masks.

I started by using one of the masks to add a soft vertical background in Soft Sea Foam. Then I added a leafy die cut, cut from Soft Sea Foam. The two flowers were cut in Basic White and the petals sponged with Blushing Bride.

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray and die cut using the lovely label from the Meadow dies. I've cut it again in Blushing Bride to create an off-set shadow.

A trio of metallic pearls finished off the card.

Butterflies and Flowers Layering Masks for PP576

The latest challenge at The Paper Players gave me the excuse to play around with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. These unassuming items were part of my December order but I've not played around with them until now. And how I regret the lost time with them! They are an amazing set with endless possibilities!

Anyway, I've used the bottom line: birthday, butterfly and stencil although I think I've accidentally played the centre column: sparkle, flower, butterfly as well!

The masks are easy to use. I started with the butterfly outline, which I sponged in Flirty Flamingo. Then I layed over the butterfly details and sponged in Melon Mambo then Poppy Parade in the centre.

Once that was done - and it was a quick process - she looked a bit lonely. So I made a mask from post-it notes for the butterfly then stencilled some flowers around her. Again, these were done in two parts: the base in Daffodil Delight and the overlay in Mango Melody. Then I added in some stencilled leaves in Granny Apple Green.

The sentiment is from Artfully Layered and a trio of Basic Rhinestone Jewels finished it off. 

I can see that these Decorative Masks, now unpackaged, will see a lot of use!
