And finally...!

After attempting to get back to at least one card for the past few days, finally, I managed! I seriously have mojo issues though :(


{Psst: I think I've forgotten how to click pictures as well... This looks tilted LOL}
Stamps: PTI Beautiful Blooms II, PTI Mega Mixed Messages
Ink: Versamagic Red and Turquoise; Hobby Ideas Green
Others: PTI MatStack 1 die (for masking), PTI Eyelet lace border die

I tried the technique at PTI's Make-It-Monday (Polaroid 2-step masking). It is interesting and lot of fun. The first one I made ended up getting soiled and I had to redo it but I'm quite satisfied with the result. Didn't have great white ink, so I used VersaMagic Turquoise for sponging around. It sure looks brighter in reality. I followed the sketch at Card Patterns (#121). Gorgeous sketch....

I am surprised I am managing to make something without patterned paper. This is definitely not my type of a card but hey, a girl can try out other things too :-p

Ciao,
Smita

    I know what you mean... this happens... you forget how to draw straight lines, to cut and take pictures... the stamping looks great on grey. You can make this as a background too!

    This is beautiful, Smita! Your combined stamping and masking actually looks like patterned paper so I don't think your mojo is missing at all. I love that bit of gold ribbon trim!
