I finally got my Guiding Light stamp set from PTI out and used it! I used the masking sentiment technique for tis weeks Make It Monday challenge. I stamped the sentiment on a sticky note - cut it out close to the sentiment and placed the sticky on my card panel as a mask. Then I stamped the light house over the sticky, removed the sticky and stamped the sentiment in the open space - so it looks like the sentiment is in the center of the stamp!
I die cut the panel with a Stitched Rectangle from Waltzingmouse and layered it over a newsprint patterned paper that I had stapled a piece of Film Strip Ribbon to.
I'm linking this card to the following challenges:
Make It Monday - Masking Sentiments
The Male Room - use newsprint
Freshly Made Sketches - 200th Sketch!
AAA Card Challenge - Maskerade
Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge - Masking
Yay - it's Friday! It's raining here in MA and we may have scattered showers all weekend - but that's ok - I won't be working! I have a lovely lunch planned with my sister on Saturday - I'm taking her to the Wenham Tea House to celebrate her 65th birthday. Looking forward to having some lovely Earl Gray Tea, tea sandwiches and a scone!
