Make It Monday - Masking

For those that don't know - Lisa Johnson is one of my craft idols, so that fact that she is hosting this week's Make It Monday is not only awe-inspiring, but craft-inspiring too.  You can see her video HERE on Nichole's blog.  She's showing us how to use dies for masking.  I've had this card in my head since I saw her video and couldn't wait to get home to work on it.  I almost left early, faking illness, but then common sense prevailed.

 I masked the cloud dies for this one and sponged the cut out with Fresh Snow ink.  After it dried (with the help of my heat gun) I stamped the large Gingham pattern in Spring Rain.

I'm loving the Leaf Zing embossing powder and used it again today with Floral Fusion 1 and 2.  I already had those cute flowers cut and grabbed some buttons to attach for centers.  After using my Fiskars border punch on some Spring Moss cardstock, I wrapped some Rustic White twine around it, used a die cut and sentiments from Tiny Tags.  After matting it and throwing on some bling, I was finished!

Thanks to Lisa for wonderful inspiration day after day, and thanks to you for visiting My Happy Place!
