Hello friends and welcome to our new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches, where we’ve got this beautiful palette from Amanda. It was perfect for creating another little scene with one of the new Round Landscapes masks and the Folk Art stamps.
The first thing was to get the mask centred onto a 3.5″ square of stencil card. I found the easiest way was to lay the outer part face down on my craft mat (sticky side up) and then place the stencil card onto it – that way you can see around the edges to get it centred.
I then pieced all the sections of the mask into place, before removing them one at a time to sponge ‘evergreen bough’ and ‘bundled sage’ Distress Oxides into each field, replacing each section once done. I worked from the bottom upwards, brushing ‘salvaged patina’ into the sky to finish.
I added a few of the Folk Art stamps into my little scene, grounding them by sponging a little ‘shadow grey’ Archival ink across a torn piece of copy paper, before using a circle embedder and ball tool to emboss a frame around the image and edging the topper with a black Sharpie. I then switched to a square embedder to emboss a second frame onto a 5×5 card blank and sat the topper within it.
Do check the rest of the inspiration from my design team-mates on the CAS C&S blog page, and then come and play along with these lovely colours – don’t forget to keep your design CAS. I’m sharing this card with a couple of other challenges too. Time Out challenges are looking for our favourite card making techniques – I’ve used two here, as I do love making landscapes with masks and am very partial to an embedder or two for embossed frames (you may have noticed!) Allsorts have challenged us to make our own backgrounds – I’m hoping my little masked scene fit the bill for that too.
