Despite the obviously feminine inspiration, the colors put me in mind of a more masculine design so that's the direction I took. I actually think this card is gender neutral, but since I left off flowers and butterflies I call it a man-card!
I based my card on the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches. Instead of separate rectangular layer, I created a frame with some post it tape then colored in some stencils right up to the edge of the mask to create the impression that a rectangle is there. I had no idea how it was going to look when I started but I think it came out pretty good. (The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed, which resisted the ink I used on the stencil). And I did another little substitution when I used a couple of enamel dots to take the place of the two little squares on the sketch. The challenge this week at Less is More is to use a stencil so that's what I did!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you can join us at colourQ this week. Be sure to pop on by there to check out the inspiration from our design team!
